Historic Gas Station - Grant Grove Village, Grant Grove Village

The historic gas station building in Grant Grove Village, built by Standard Oil Company in 1936. The porte-cochere covering the former fuel pumps was added in 1940. The office area is in the center, most of the windows are now boarded up, but you can see the very top of the windows still visible if you look closely. On each side of the office there was originally a service bay for auto repairs, the one on the far side was removed to create room for product storage. The building is currently used for storage. Hopefully the gas station can be restored and a new adaptive use found for it. It would make a great coffee/deli/ice cream shop with outdoor patio under the old porte-cochere!
