So my wife is on the way to work Wednesday and notices this building being remodeled (pretty sure im keeping her forever). I was blown away by what was hiding under the nasty, old sheetmetal and brick facade. Texaco porcelain station panels in nice, original condition. The building was several things through the years, most recently a Merita Bread thrift store. I have turned around in this parking lot a thousand times and never guessed it was a station. We were able to make a deal to remove all of the panels and help with the clean up. That is Ralph S.(poleman) in the photos having a blast uncovering the panels and Coca-Cola sign that was above the windows. Never thought we would run across anything like this. Glad the boys doing the tear out didnt destroy everything and we got there in time. The only bad part is we now have a TON of cleaning to do. Be sure to check the Photobucket link for more photos and enjoy.

We would be very interested if anyone has any of the green plastic Marfak Lubrication and Washing letters, that would have been above the doors.

A local city worker brought two of the stars and six of the green letters into the bank where my wife works today. He had no idea we were able to get all of the panels.
