This specific station was built by Ferrellgas Company when they ran gas stations and full home service gas and oil deliveries.
In the 1960, Ferrellgas gave up all service stations and concentrated on Propane sales.
The photo in the Historic Survey show the station with the Ferrellgas signs still up on the face of the structure.
When it ceased being a service station, I am not sure, but the street it is on use to be State Highway 100, when people traveled State and US Highways. There are no old signs age existing today, but the PDF page 376 shows the old signs.
"Located in an urban neighborhood at the corner of East 5th and MacArthur Streets
"One-story frame commercial building. The exterior wall
surface of the first story has been altered with the
addition of ca. 1970 vertical framing. In the gable
dormers of the main façade is original wood siding and
half-timbering. The main entrance and display windows
were altered ca. 1970 with an aluminum and glass door and
single light windows. In the east bay of the building is
an original garage bay with a fourteen-panel glass and
wood overhead track door. At the roofline are two gable
dormers. The interior has been remodeled.
"This building was constructed ca. 1930 as a gas station
on old Highway 100 (W. 5th Street). In recent years it
has been converted into offices. The building is not
shown on the 1926 Sanborn map." ~ DNR Historic Survey PDF pages 373-376
