Default Re: Now this is how gas stations used to look...

The office for my shop was originally built as a gas station back in the 40s. Next to our sigh, you will see the old island light. You can still see the footprint of the island in the parking lot. Next to the office you is the footprint of the old drive over grease pit. On the side of the office in the bricks you can see where the restroom doors were on the outside.

Not a gas station, but an old Dodge dealership. This used to be Smith Motor Company in White Marsh, MD. It is the original building. The service bays are located behind that bucket truck. Years later, they built the service department and another showroom across the street which now sits empty.



At one time, it seemed Smith Motor Co sold every Dodge in Baltimore County.

I love my local "OLD" station, no clue what branding was but a local wrench uses it to repair Volvo's
