The letters are milk glass inserts. A very nicely preserved 1920s to early 30s station. I really like the windows and doors in this one. It's amazing that the grease pit, wood runners and all, is still preserved. Also, there's a little pad where either a light or air meter was mounted.

My grandmother told me he really loved this Oldsmobile.

Trying to buy two pump doors that are in the building with original paint on them. They say "BRUCE '88'" and they have the ethyl plaque on them. Quincy is right on the river and this is a big boating area, but you never see any of this stuff out there at all. Last edited by chadrock00; Tue Oct 19 2010 03:42 PM.

When I took the picture of the keepout sign the guard came out and tried to chase me off. I was on company property. Told him I was a old employee and he relaxed. This is the new office building they built when gas was $4.00 per gallon. It cost 7 million dollars. Since then they have laid off 25 employees. The common workers call it the Taj Mahal. This is looking across the street at the refinery with the coker in the background. The sign is about 10 ft. in diameter.

The bottom picture is one of the main gates where the guard come out and chased me off. Now two more pictures. This sign is at the sit e of the old office building and a walk in gate for workers. I took this picture because this is the same spot that the picture was taken in 1956 that is shown in Rarin-to-Go's COTM that the link was posted a few days ago. The kone with the 56 Ford and cowboy riding the horse.
