UPDATE: April 2021 - this building is now occupied as a CBP Dispensary. Sad.
At 9110 N. Western Avenue, between Britton and Wilshire, an old gas station has been converted into the art studio of artist, Suzanne Peck. This is a one-story, two-building gas station, with an office area to the north, and a two-bay service building to the south.
She has painted the brick a chartreuse green which lends to its artistic look. The office building has a single doorway, with windows to either side - all covered with iron bars. The service building (studio) has a canted corner entrance. The overhead doors have been removed and the openings infilled with concrete block. Two horse murals have been painted on the openings, which adds to the attractiveness of the property.
The gas pump island is painted black with two iron planters. The old metal sign post has the address painted at the top. This refurbished station brings a smile to your face.
