Picture taken in March 2023! The web site address on one of the signs above the shop is a tip off, but otherwise, it looks like the 50's.

I like this joint.

A "survivor" -- porcelain glazed enamel tiles, original aluminum trim, multi-service bay/showroom setup, vintage signage/coloring, we've seen here that looks circa 1940's pre-war -- among vintage real estate & auto-related architecture.

227 State Street, New Albany IN.

Forgive me. Don't wanna go too far off the path.

I am working on a project with some folks. In THEIR pitch was the future of gas stations were a couple of concepts below.

SOME of these look like some of the mid-century modern (50's-70's) designs we have sprinkled throughout.

"what's old is new again ... maybe.
