Last month's feature made it to 100 posts! I'm sorry I was a little delayed this month, but I wanted to let the old one settle out, and also wait for the upgrade to be completed. Let's get started! Out for a drive in TX, we ran across this excellent Cities Service cottage station. It's in amazing condition, and still has all three lenses intact (though one is cracked). Those lenses are 15" globe lenses in metal surface-mount holders. It's pretty cool that the brick was never painted over. Cities Service stations like this one sometimes had a separate washing bay nearby (to the left in this case). This one was either removed, or never existed. I've got some more CS station photos I'll post later showing their unique washing bay.

This old general store begged us to stop for some photos. You can see that the awning was added later, and those cool square light poles once had bonnets or fluorescents on top. Check out the base of the pole. Is that a little tire inflating pump/compressor inside? Neat! That's all I've got for tonight, but let's keep 'em coming! Wes

st.rod, I see - for some reason it had looked to me like the end cap of a motor. Now that I look at it, I agree with you - some type of junction box.
thermoman, Not a problem at all. I'm going to see if both threads can be merged together.
Thanks guys! Wes

My apologies to everyone for jumping the gun. You get to focusing on certain cues and all I saw was FATW. Got excited and was ready to start adding all the work. I'll hang out for a day and then start back up again.

That pump looks like it's in good shape. I wonder if that's its original installation, or if it's ornamental?
Also, I really like the farmhouse style station/home combo (2 pics above the pump pic). Looks like a place I'd like to live.
Thanks for posting the pics, guys! Wes

Jack,
That looks like a Phillips cottage - and a nice one. What's that on the left side of the building where the Phillips lens should be? Is it a sign? Looks like a Mobilgas sign or lens?
Thanks, Wes

Wes, not sure if they are the orignal lens just painted over or a new sign. There are several stations I have posted photos of that still had the orignal lens in them in past from the Ok. and Tx. area. Jack

Dave, the station you asked about looks like a Gulf to me.
I really like that Texaco (Economy) station. Hard to say what it started off as, but it's a great building.
It is a lot of fun stopping and talking to people who own or work in old stations. Like you said, it's amazing how much you'll learn.

BACK IN THE 60'S WHEN I WAS A KID (UNDER AGE 10), THE ONLY WAY OUT TO THE SUMMER HOUSE PRETTY DIRECTLY WAS THE 2-LANE BLACKTOP. IT WOULD PASS THRU AT LEAST 2-DOZEN SMALL TOWNS. I ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS TIRE SIGN IN ROCKY POINT WOULD TELL ME WE HAD ABOUT ANOTHER 1/2 HOUR UNTIL WE GOT THERE. THE SIGN IS STILL THERE ALONG WITH A NEON LIT FIRESTONE NEON BOWTIE. I SHOT THIS PICTURE YESTERDAY: I AM GONNA LOOK INTO SEEING IF IT STILL LIGHTS UP.

I posted this pic over a year ago of a Kendall (in my day) station in Livonia, NY that was condemned by the town and about to be demolished. Thankfully, a local guy I know ( Mike West) who is into restoring and collecting all kinds of things bought it from the town and moved it to his property. I saw it this past summer and he is doing a great job of restoring the porcelain panels. Unfortunately, I didnt have my camera, but I will be sure to bring it next time I am back there and then post them here. I thank people like him who have the foresight and ambition to take on such a large undertaking so the rest of us can enjoy it. In the not-too-distant future, kids won't know what a "gas" station ( and other Petroliana) is if not for the efforts of collectors. Everyone here can pat themselves on the back for their part in preserving a small piece of our history.
Formerly a Kendall station in Livonia, NY, it sits waiting to be bought or demolished.

Ok, I give up. Whats that behind the station? Cant imagine its a parking garage. No room to manuver and I dont see a ramp. Assume there is a lift somewhere. S

Vermonter, Yes, it is a parking garage. Used one a few years ago in some big city with limited parking. Had a platform that moved back and forth, then up to a vacant spot.

These next photos are earlier in the buildings history. This has always been in the family by the way. Just a modern interior pic. This next pic is of Mr Sekulski's grandfather who is the man who began the family business. This had to be one of my favorites for the simple fact that he started the with nothing more than a simple domestic garage and a gas pump!

Unfortunately this place no longer exists just 1/2 mile away in the other direction down the road but as the Pic was "FOUND ALONG THE WAY", I thought this would fit in as well. These 2 stations he had a pic of also fell to the developers bulldozer.
