Morris Canal: (Satellite)
I think it is unusual for an old station to have two covered aisles for pumps.

They look like pumps that compute the total price mechanically. I wonder how he got them to handle the dollar digit in the per gallon price.

Metrotrails posted two photos with the comment: "Then and Now Series: Historic postcard image of Eckel's service station in Washington, New Jersey, compared to the same scene at Guy's service station.
Mr. Eckel reportedly built the station modeled after another service station he had seen in St. Augustine, Florida. The station has been open and very little changed since the 1920s!
Now known as Guy's, Guy Burd and family have operated the beloved step back in time for many years."

Morris Canal
Metrotrails posted two images with the comment:
Metrotrails Then and Now Series: Historic postcard view of the Morris Canal passing beneath what is today Belvidere Avenue in Washington, New Jersey, compared to the same scene on our 2023 walk.The Morris Canal stretched 102 miles from Phillipsburg to Jersey City by 1842, and was a major means of transportation for over twenty years before the first railroad crossed Warren County.The canal remained in service until 1924, and it was much abandoned by 1927.West of Belvidere Ave, the canal prism and towpath are both recognizable, although badly overgrown heading onto the JCP&L property. To the east, the canal is filled in through what used to be Warren Lumber.
