Exxon (formerly Amoco, Grant's out lot), hiding in plain sight

In keeping with the Grant Plaza photoset theme, here's where Mr. Grant and Mary would've bought gas in the early 70's. Once a quaint house-style Amoco, with matching dainty pump canopy and seen in the 1971 HistoricAerials.com photo, it once looked very much like the station in the link above.

 

Now the current canopy dominates the entire scene, partially hiding the station's former identity from the front at least. It has morphed into another mega gas convenience market with Exxon branding, the only entity still pumping gas in the immediate area.
