George,

How interesting that that cottage is in Clinton, Indiana. The Phillips cottage I posted this month is in Clinton, Illinois!

I missed the cottage in Casey. I'll have to make sure to see it next time. I did see a re-purposed Standard sign and a late 50s Gulf porcelain sign.

Thanks,
Wes

Wes I knew the cottage you posted was in Clinton I have seen it many times. Next time you are in Casey go down town on rt 49 and you will see another nice cottage. Turn right off 49 on what I call main st and there is a super nice Gulf sign on the side of a building and some nice old stations. Never seem to have a camera with me when I an down there.

That is an early model 'rectangle' 850... Not square!

Base, skins, and mid section are rectangular. Being an early pump I guarantee its chain drive... or was.

And I bet the skins are 48 inches tall. ? Repops are 46.

Here are a few in GA, Went to take a picture of the one station and the red roof had been added since last week, it did have a tile roof.

Lake Odessa, MI, I have to believe that the steel framed sign has been there almost as long as the station even though it is now a sign business.

Old Mercantile/Post Office/Gas Station in southern North Dakota. Still has the old G and B visible sitting out back waiting for someone to pull up and get a gallon or two!!

i saw this coca cola murale fighting for more sunlight. it was in downtown old new castle, de between 2 row buildings. maybe someone will figure out that the murale looks better than the cheap stucco and expose its glory to the world

OK SO TECHNICALY NOT FOUND ALONG THE WAY BUT THESE BUILDINGS STILL EXIST IN MY HOMETOWN. I CURRENTLY OWN THE BUICK DEALERSHIP BUILDING. IT IS A PICTURE @ 1955. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IS A BUILDING JUST ACROSS THE STREET FROM MINE. WOULDNT U LIKE TO HAVE THAT CHEVY SIGN. THE SIGNS POLE IS STILL THERE. IF U LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE STREET NIGHT SCENE U CAN SEE THE CHEVY SIGN AS WELL AS A TEXACO, CITIES SERVICE AND ANOTHER STATION ON THREE CORNERS OF ONE BLOCK. HOPE YOU ENJOY THESE PICS AS MUCH AS I DO.
