   I travelled Highway 80 for 25 years going back and forth to Savannah and I always thought that little building looked great. It’s good to see a picture of it in it’s heyday.

   I’m pretty sure this is still in the Brown family. My wife is a Brown from Stilson,a distant cousin to John Aubry Brown, and a first cousin to the current owner.

   I loved that you identified it as a “filling station”, a term I would probably never heard again in my lifetime. Brought back memories of being sent to “town” in one of Mom’s Cadillacs on an errand and told to put a “dollar’s worth” in at our favorite station. My favorite also, a cute young man would put my gas in, check the oil & wash my windshield while “checking” me out. Thanks for the memories.

   The red tiles on the service station suggest Gulf rather than Sinclair to me. My grandfather ran a Gulf Station in Gough for many years-a shot of this humble station is on my website at longleafjournal.com.
