Forest Grove gas station
Title
Forest Grove gas station
Description
Black and white photograph of a gas station. This style of gas station with a small house and a covered porch area happened as gas stations became more common and moved into residential areas and wanted to match the local architecture. Note the hose on the pump; this was a relatively new development in the last half of the decade, along with a meter for measuring the fuel as it was pumped into the car.
