I find this particular station most interesting because it breaks completely away from the “Corporate Cottage that was adapted in 1923. The pumps appear to be 1928 Dayton’s . Dayton pumps were native to Ohio and that would make sense from a cost standpoint

I remember the terribly cute little gas station at the corner of Weber Rd and Indianola Ave. that today could have accomodated maybe 2 cars. It must have been built in the early 20’s. There’s a convenience store there now. During the war they had a siren mounted on top of the service station, which sounded the alarm for a blackout, and we’d all turn out our lights or put up blankets over the window. Columbus had enough war-related industry such as Timken Bearings and Curtis-Wright Manufacturing to warrant having black-outs.

Yes, this was located on the southeast corner of Indianola and Hudson, where the UDF gas station now stands. –Shirley

Anyone know what corner this stood on at the intersection??? I’m guessing the SE corner where the UDF is. I remember the old SOHIO station that was there in the 70’s.
