I did this oil painting of the station as it really looked. It will hang in the office.

Thanks guys!
I have been working on this since April....almost done. The pump was as much of a challenge as the building but it worked out. I have never done anything like this before and am very much an amateur.

The fridge was an easy restoration. It was stored for 15 years. I rewired it, repainted it and put a new gasket on it and it works great. It think it is from 1939.

I found these empty oil filter boxes and cans in the attic when doing demolition. They look at home on the shelf. I have accumulated some pretty neat uniform pieces, hats and belt money changer. Looks like the guys are ready to come to work.
