Layers of Time

            Thanks to Don and Teresa Williams, this Standard service station has been restored to the glory that is reminiscent of the 1950s. The pump, signage and other historical artifacts seen at the station are not the originals, but they represent similar items from the 40s and 50s. This building is located at Madison and Second Street in Prairie City, Iowa. And by the way, even though you can’t see it in this photo, the gas pump still indicates 23 cents a gallon (that was for leaded gas).   

Developed with Darktable 4.8.0.
