Gas Station: (Satellite)
Linda Dan Killinger posted two photos with the comment: "As found 10/27/1990, the Bowling Green, KY station a decade or so before the opening of the Historic Railpark and Train Museum there. The station was first opened in 1925. [Daniel Killinger]"
I do think this was the same Gulf station, but it has been remodeled.

| Ed Grima commented on Daniel's post I believe this is the same place Dennis DeBruler: Ed Grima Found it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/koS9qiXQc4mv6Rha6 Dennis DeBruler: Ed Grima I don't think it is the same place. This 1921 filling station was the first one built in Bowling Green, and it was a Standard Oil station from 1921 to 1956. https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=139389 But it and the Gulf station does show how similar the architecture was for the 1920s gas stations. |
Note the historical marker near the right center in the above photo.

| hmdb "The restoration of Standard Filling Station No. 1 was completed in 2008 and represents the building as it operated in the 1920s. The pumps are replicas of Wayne 615 Visible 10-gallon gas pumps. Crown Gasoline, a product of the Standard Oil Company was sold here and was available in both Ethyl and Regular. The Eco 44 Air pump filled many Model T automobile tires and a few bicycles tires too." The building is now a public restroom for the Circus Square Park. |
