Looks great! That's an awesome station - I sure wish I could even FIND and LOOK AT a station like that, much less get one! And for free! You are extremely lucky!
I would guess late 20s on the vintage. It would be very interesting to see if old pictures of it exist in a local library or genealogical society.
Best of luck on fixing it up and preserving a rare piece of history. Very few prefab stations from this era still exist.

The guy smilling is my dad. Me and him are partners in crime on this project we sepperated it and moved it in two pieces on the trailer it was 15' 2" tall and 14' wide . Idrug it about 60 miles even along the interstate and no cops ! Now this is where it gets tricky i poured a slab october 09 and set the station part down on it. Went back and got the awning which is still on the trailer. Then january 2010 my wife tried to kill me with a sword and pitchfork so i left and filed 4 divorce and shae has all my stuff at the moment . 21 signs with poles and most of my pumps excaept my wayne 60 and 2 southwest visibles. but come feb. 10 hopefully i can go and get my stuff.
