Octagonal Gas Station in Delaware (Ohio!)

After writing a(nother) post about my continued affection for old filling stations, I was inspired—despite the weather—to return to Delaware and photograph a station we seem to only drive by at night.

 

Hubby's long hours on the project at work mean I can't pick & choose best times, so please pardon the harsh shadows. Even so, she's a cutie and of course I stood here thinking about what else she could be. As usual.

 

Debra, this nice-looking station was built as a Linco around 1925, becoming a Marathon not long before the US entered the Second World War. I'm not sure how long it has been empty, who owns it, or what will happen—but it's so charming, I really hope it is somehow brought back to life.
