I have been wanting to build a gas station in my barn/shop even before I built the barn. I have been collecting items for this project over the past 10 years. Well, I finally got motivated and talked to a friend of mine who does construction on the side and is very creative and knowledgeable. I hired him to do the project with me and it took us 4 months - June - Sept of this year. For years I was going to build a Polly station, but over the past few years I realized finding original polly signs are next to impossible. So I chose Signal, one of my favorites and also a brand that my grandfather owned many many years ago. I didn't want your typical station though. I wanted something with a functioning bathroom, kitchen, family room and bedroom above the station. Something you could actually use for a purpose. So, I found 4 original doors and a bunch of windows form the old National Hotel remodel in Jackson, CA. I literally built the station around the red/pink door that was perfect for the project. So, here you go from beginning to the final product. Enjoy!
