This Texaco Gas Station originally opened in the 1930's. Having changed hands several times, it eventually became an automotive detail shop. The building was in pretty bad shape until the current owner purchased it. Over a period of 6 years, the property was brought up to code and the whole place was restored to it's original 1930's state you see today.

This is one of the best restored vintage gas stations I have ever seen. You would be missing out to not stop by some time. The station is slowly being filled with period equipment and furniture. The only thing missing now is the gas pump itself. I'm sure the owner would love to get one out there if you have one laying around!
