Restored vintage Esso gas station in Kingwood.

I don't know what the deal is, but the place is roped off (You can barely see the rope in my photo). I was disappointed.
[Lucy Pfeffa, 08/29/2014]Restored gas stations are almost always "look only," with no actual services. The unfortunate photo-spoiler rope might keep people from driving in, thinking they can gas up.
Inside the restored 1937 Esso Gas Station there are many items from old gas days gone by.

A "stuck-in-time" period gas station. Complete with glass-domed gas pumps, era Coke machines, signs etc., and restored pick-up truck.
