An article on Ann Arbor Gas Stations (
visit link) tells us:
"Houselike stations were especially popular, on the theory that they could blend with residential neighborhoods. Paul’s Service Station, built in 1930 at the northwest corner of Ann and Fourth, was done in Tudor style, complete with a brick facade and slate roof (partially obscured by a later cinder-block addition, the building is now Adam’s Garden of Eden). The prettiest local example has to be the 1927 Tuomy Hills station at Washtenaw and Stadium, which local architects Lynn Fry and Paul Kasurin designed for Bill and Kathryn Tuomy. Built of stone in a style reminiscent of an Irish gatehouse, it was so distinctive that a copy of it was displayed at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. Today, owned by University Bank, it’s the city’s most elegant ATM."
An old issue of Washtenaw Impressions at hvcn.org/info/wchs/website/impressions.../impressions_198510o.pdf tells us:
"in the 1930's the younger Toumy's built the
picturesque fieldstone Tuomy Hills gas station down the road at the junction of Washtenaw and the "cutoff" (Stadium Boulevard). "
