070009

Esso gas station, Boulevard René Lévesque, on Nuns' island, Montreal.

design by mies van der rohe, 1969.

as if nothing has happened in 30 years...

 

edit 2009: after 40 years the most beautiful gasstation in the world is now closed :-(

edit 2012: the building saved and turned into La Station, a community centre.

 

update 2013: photo published in the Czech magazine ERA21 ("Mise za Miese", 2013 #01), completely dedicated to Mies van der Rohe.
