San Francisco gas Station


Recommended Posts

Picture was provided by the grandson of the station owner.
 

"Howard Bury, owned three service stations in the City, including the one pictured here. I'm assuming that it was taken in the twenties, since he lost all three in the Great Depression."

Love the uniforms and themed service stations!

CALPET was the place to gas up in 1920's California.

This fancy Moorish styled station opened in 1927 on Wiltshire Blvd.

CALPET (California Petroleum Company) was eventually bought out by "the man who wears the star".
