2016- "Built by Henry Suetmeier around 1920 as a gas station and service garage. Other owners included Edual Erickson, Herbert Peschel and Conrad (Con) Thompson who owned the business from 1938 until the early 1980's. Gas service was discontinued in the 1980's when Keith (Slim) Krisher took over the business. Krisher's passion was auto repair and he served many McFarland customers until he died suddenly in 2014. His wife Betty Krisher now owns the property."
