Lighthouse Gas Station

The lighthouse gas station in Cooperstown was one of many stations that were built by the Beacon Oil Company from Massachusetts (The lighthouse was the marketing symbol for the company during the 1930s). At one time there were at least two other Beacon lighthouse gas stations in neighboring towns and villages.
