Good morning all....A guy here in Notus, ID. has an old service station he wants disassembled and taken away. Looks to be in the 30-40 era..I have several pic so if anyone wants to take this down and away, let me know and will get together with owner..Thanks Warren

pictures? .. ...

Yes pictures please

Pic will be coming shortly....

If it a porcelain section building it is easily disassembled and moved, but if it a stone, etc. type building moving it might be impossible, because the the cost of jacking it up and how far does someone wanting it moved.

Warren, you can e-mail me the pic's and I can post them if that helps.

Here are a few pic of the old station...I have more if interested...

This station has two rooms. each approx. 16X16..He wants to sell it but I think he would give it to you if you tore it down and removed from property..He wants to plow this area up and start farming it..Warren

Neat little building....I hope it's saved!

Nice if someone is close enough to save this piece of history ! Be a shame to let it go down.

Removing the porcelain panels from a concrete block station is easy.
Removing porcelain panels from a steel frame station is MUCH harder.
Dismantling a steel frame is NOT for a do it yourselfer.

Can't tell by the pics....is it bolted or riveted together?

Looks like a Butler Manufacturing building from the 1920's. Other examples

This is the type of group knowledge that is unmatched on any other petroliana site. Thanks for sharing guys.

I love to see members helping each other, sharing resources, experience and opportunities.

At last report from the owner, the station has been sold and is no longer at the location. So someone did get it......

Awesome, great to hear. Hopefully someone on here picked it up and we can follow the renovation.

Here is one like it being moved in Springfield, Ill.

Great stuff. Around here they would bulldoze it and sell it for scrap. Dave
