Information

A filling station with a glass-walled office and two automotive bays, set back to allow space for cars in the paved lot. Conrad Stonestreet bought this lot at auction and demolished the house, planning to build a drugstore here. Instead, Esso leased the lot and lent him the money to build the station. The station's first contractors were J. C. and R. E. Caudle, followed by Roy Holland. It now houses TCM garage.
