Woodland, California: Reiff's Gas Station House
Mark Reiff worked at a gas station in the 1950s, liked it, and converted his home -- inside and out -- to house his collection of petroliana. A 1950s malt shop is visible through the front windows, and an airplane tail sticks out of the roof.

Super cute and interesting! We didn't do a tour, but it looks like he has some cool stuff in the back yard, too.

This is a "must do" stop, with the station, diner, theater, and a building featuring both a car crash and a plane crash - no doubt from a shift in the magnetic poles. Private tours, including the back yard area, can be arranged. Woodland's greatest tourist attraction!
[Mulvaney, 02/23/2011]Reiff has great stories and lots of great things to see. He has a wonderful, varied collection! Went with our Corvette club and had a picnic lunch there. Fun trip!

Meet Mark Reiff, a Woodland man whose love affair extends from the car to the gas pump. Mark's garage is lined with antique pumps in a variety of shapes and sizes. His collection even includes a gasoline pump from 1914! He remodeled his front lawn to look like a real gas station, complete with a 1950s diner, created a general store in the foyer, and added a fake car crashing through the front fence. The house is open to tours by appointment only [mreiff@sbcglobal.net], and he loves showing it off!
