Below image of Main St, north side of the st. 4th building from the right side of the picture is the same building currently standing.
Those cars are not driving down the middle of the street, they are parked there; that is how they did it back then. From the information we can gather the first gas station was built in 1912. There is a note that states: "Apparently in 1882 W.W. Smith told many business men that is was time to build gas stations; there is a list of men in the original note." |
