Very nice, thanks for posting! Nice to see an old station saved and not torn down. I don't think "City Fathers" understand that saving something like this actually helps with tourism and makes a smaller city memorable to passers through. I don't think it would be a stretch to say that there are already tourists that drove through your town that haven't told someone else, "There's an old Sinclair station there you should really go see".

Jim, next time you see Wayne Henderson, remind him of all the unique and archecturaly signifigant service station examples we have here in Richmond Virginia . As Nicole can attest , she an her husband went on my "Not on the Chamber of Commerce tour " a couple of years back. I still run accros the Television reporter who told me I was "Crazy" to really want to restore a service station that's now someones residence in the eastern part of the city. Meanwhile , I'm collecting copies of building plans , old photographs , and anything I can from sources within City government on th remaining buildings here . With that information, I'm slowly building models in scale of these once shining treasures that thankfully aren't a Civil War artifact . Ed Shaver
see ya on the road folks !

Really nice work! And yes, as Ed said, there are some really cool old stations in Richmond as well, including one about that size!
Keep us updated on your progress with the historical marker and making it a destination stop for tourism. In fact if you haven't already let your city/county dept of tourism know about it so they can put it on their radar...

Congrats on the restoration! I was by the station just a few months ago, and was amazed at how deteriorated it was compared to just a few years ago. You have done a lot of work in a very short time! I came through Snyder yesterday. I wish I would have known how it looked, and I would have stopped by. I'm not that far north of you, if I can be of any assistance let me know.
