Valvoline Service Station
Image
Two attendants and several automobiles at the Valvoline gasoline station located at 999 South Park Street in Madison. This station is a good example of "the house with a canopy" style gasoline station built during the 1920s. It consisted of a room for the attendant, bathrooms, and the gasoline pumps, with no service bays.
