Yes, It's a Gas Station. Really.

This was a gas station, built in Philadelphia (Walnut x 40th Streets) around 1918. The pumps were located in a colonnade around this circular buildling. The Atlantic Refining Company later merged with Richfield, and became known as ARCO.

Well, I haven't blogged for a while ... I've been busy (work and stuff). But fortunately, I have found some time to draw and paint. Also I am designing a website on architecture, primarily art deco and mid-century modern in Ottawa (I'll probably put photos of favourite buildings I've seen on vacation, too) ... hopefully that will be up and running this month.
