Information from (
visit link) states that “Delaware’s octagonal filling station came into life as a Linco (…Lincoln, an Ohio oil & gasoline company usually shortened to ‘Linco’) around 1925, becoming a Marathon in the 40s. At some point, someone added the multi-windowed rectangular building next door to serve as a garage in the late 1960s or early 1970s.” After a 2007 restoration, the buildings were put to auction in ’12; obviously, nothing much seems to have happened since then.” “ [T]he station and its service bay were both manufactured by Union Metal, a Canton, Ohio company that sold quite a few ‘ornamental’ metal gas stations.”
