I worked at that site back in the fifties when I was a teenager.  It was a Standard Oil "filling station."  Had two gas pumps (regular and ethyl) with full service.  Grease rack and $2.00 hand detailed car washes.  Pan-Am across the street on one corner and Sinclair on the other. Added to my resume when I moved on to Southside Standard Oil across from the infamous Three Little Pigs Cafe offering curb service and a teenage hangout with a jukebox.  Climbing that ladder of success, I ended up running Phillip's 66 at night while in my senior year of high school.  Learned a lot about cars and trucks from those experiences.  Self-serve ultimately killed that business model.
