Not a great picture, but interesting that this was not only a "Mom and Pop" gas station and connivence store, it was also a pool hall.

The caption with this picture: "Boise fireman Don Baker smoking while gassing up truck for the fire prevention series on "Things not to do.""

Probably should put the nozzle in the tank filler up by the cab too.

The caption with this photo: "Barnsdall service station at the Five Points intersection of Goshen Rd (Lincoln Highway) in Fort Wayne, Indiana, circa 1925. It was offered for free in 2019 by the city of Fort Wayne to anyone who would move. No one wanted it and it was destroyed for a new roundabout."

A design illustration.

I tried to find "Shore Buick" but nothing that was older than the sixties. It's kind of an ambitious design with three floors and it looks like it was designed for a specific location in the side of a hill.
