Gas Station
Image
Gas station. The Tudor-revival style of this station represents gas station owners' trend to adopt domestic architectural styles as they moved into residential neighborhoods. Also typical is the fact that the station sits at an angle of a street intersection in order to better attract customers driving in both directions. This station is one of a Green Bay chain owned by Henry Barkhausen.
1930
