Old Standard Gas Station

There's an old Standard Oil gas station in Vail, Iowa.

[Kevin, 08/29/2020]

This old filling station was abandoned, then absorbed into a larger, parasite building -- which had nothing to with gas -- for decades. In 2019 the other building was demolished and the tiny gas station restored. Now it's a lonely petro-mirage.
