Log Cabin Esso

Log Cabin General Store and Esso gas station, 961 East Island Highway, Parksville, Vancouver Island, BC.

A vanishing type of gas station and general store along the old Island Highway (now Hwy. 19A, 'Oceanside Route') located conveniently outside the gates of Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park.

Likely built in the 1950s, the store is reminiscent of once-common roadside establishments throughout British Columbia in the era of automotive vacation and camping trips of yore.
