Was digging through my wife's Grandpa's stuff related to the old station building we have (we are releasing our 3rd generation tenant that could no longer make a go of a used car lot and leasing to a young kid that has a remodeling business) and found out Grandpa had another station on the other side of town at one point. I Googled the address and the building is still there. Same layout as ours, but had an addition at one point. I did notice that it still has some of the original parking lot light fixtures. Notably the corner one that was referenced in this plot layout from 1958 for our station. I might have to check with the owner and see if he would let that go at some point. We do have a pole from one of the single-element lights from our station here at the farm (holding up a non-original sodium vapor outdoor light) and my daughter has a bigger one at her house (formerly my MIL's) that holds up a basketball goal.
