Additional Comments
"This small cream brick filling station was constructed between 1912 and 1926. It is all that remains of a larger automobile sales and repair shop complex that belonged to Samuel Peterson, who was mayor of Stoughton from 1904-1906. As with the Roe Building, this building represents a change in the local economy from wagon manufacturing to automobile sales and service beginning in the late 1910's." Rebecca Sample Bernstein for the City of Stoughton Landmarks Commission and Downtown Revitalization Association, Historic Main Street: An Architectural & Historical Guide to Downtown Stoughton, 1991.
