Some of you - but not all of you may have seen pictures of this old station in Iowa off of old Hwy 30 before. In fact, I think there may have been a magazine article done on this place a while back. A buddy of mine was passing through the wide spot in the road where this is located and sent me these pictures. Thought I would share for those who had not seen it.

Definitely eye catching !!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Pretty cool. You would have to fence it in around here. It would be stripped in a week. Dave

Cool place!! Packed with cool signs!!

Thanks for sharing with us !!

Looks like an interesting place.

I wonder how many accidents that building has caused?..

There was an auction at this station earlier this year. They sold a lot of stuff but the signs on the outside of the building were not included in the auction.

So cool, wish there was more places like that on the left coast!

I like the small size of this building. The white painted wood, position of the doors and windows reminds me of a corner store I grew up near. I prefer old buildings like this over modern. The signs are in the condition I like. Great looking place.

Sweet place!!
