Additional Comments

This c.1945 concrete block service station is rectangular in plan with a flat roof and metal coping. The front (east) facade displays two bays with modern overhead doors, a modern pedestrian door, and downsized storefront windows that wrap around the side (south) elevation. Separate restroom entrances for men and women are located at the rear corner on opposite sides of the north and south elevations. Restrooms are accessed by a single wood door with an enclosed transom above. Windows on the side elevations are fixed multi-light. The service station sign, gas pumps, and service islands have been removed.
