Image
View from street of the Standard Oil filling station with Red Crown gasoline pumps. Two attendants are standing near an entrance with a sign for a postal telegraph office. On the left a woman and two men are standing on the porch of a large house, and a dog is sitting by the stoop. There is decorative running trim along the gables of the house and along the top of the roof, and striped awnings over many of the windows.
