The following is from the 1991 survey: This tiny building is the only intact example of a neighborhood service station in this area. The auto repair shop to the west of this building was built about 1920. Additionally, on the rear (north side) of the lot were six frame garages for automobile storage. This complex of buildings enhances our knowledge of early 20th century transportation developments.
In 1937 this was Lewis Sands' Texaco Station and the property was owned by Alexander Newler.
