former station
Watertown, SD
This former station may have been built in 1934. Apparently, it has been remodeled with a mansard roof over the bays and it possibly had a canopy as well. I don't know if it was ever a Sinclair or if this sign was just added later. [map]

This former station was restored around 2019 for Shag's Hot Rods & Classics. The "Washing" and "Lubrication" letters were installed then and the trim was added and painted green. The color suggests Texaco but I don't know if this building ever operated as that brand. [map]
