Afternoon all. Had some Internet issues with the "Idevices" but got it straightened out now. Time for another addition of FATW! Went to Harvard,il a couple weeks back,and finally stopped and got a couple pics of this old station..must have been quite a place in its day!




And while on a job the other day,I stopped and saw a friends backyard display.several items came from me..


I really like the look of the shed. To bad his "nice " neighbor has called the health inspector on him because of the tank.nothing in it,but they are trying to make him get rid of it.hes fighting it.

Last are a couple pics from another friend,who was up in N Dakota.


So lets see the pics of the stuff you have found on your hunting travels,and thanks in advance for the pics! Take care all!

I'll try to check into that……There is a small 2nd floor now but i'm not sure if it was always there or maybe just a tall impressive ceiling…..

The Harvard station was owned by Shields Oil. At one point in time they carried Cities Service. It's a great station. I wish someone would completely restore it.

Saw this on vacation. The building is fairly generic, but the name and mountaintop location are pretty cool.
