Details
Step back to the day when a visit to the gas station meant service with a smile, a wash of the windshield, and the cheerful question, “Fill’er Up?” Since their unremarkable beginnings, gas stations have taken many forms and worn many guises: castles, cottages and teepees, Art Deco and Streamline Moderne, clad with wood, stucco, or gleaming porcelain - in seemingly infinite variety. Author Jim Draeger retired from the Wisconsin Historical Society after 32 years with the State Historic Preservation Office.
