Cut through the big town of Barnsdall the other day. Anyone here know Jack? if it's as cool on the inside as the out, It would be great to poke around in. That is Jack Gamble's home and station. He graduated HS from Barnsdall with my dad in 1956. (so he is old, LOL). The station was originally Conoco and my father tells stories or getting a "rationed" soda pop there during WW2 as a child. My father grew up about 100 yards down the alley from the Conoco station. Regarding the signs. Not much if anything inside. The 50-75 signs outside is pretty much what is there.
Collect small Oklahoma Oil Co.'s 1920's-1940's. Barnsdall, Cushing, Eason, Marland, etc.

Jim,
It may have been a fire station, but it was probably a gas station before that.

Stopped by the place in the top photo (which is the same as the one on the bottom) and knocked on the door but no answer. Cool looking place and it's right on the side of I-35 between Waco and Austin. FINALLY I recognize a place I've seen!!!
