The Madison County Oil Company / West End Station has been restored and is now a Welcome Center. This was the second gas station on this site, the first was built in 1927 and this one built in 1930. This one retains much of its original design cues. In the mid 1930s it became known as the West End Service Station. By the early 1940s it was selling Mobilgas products. The large windows on the front of the building in this photo would have been garage doors when it was a gas station.

There's a info display that tells much of the stations history.

The building became a dental office in the mid-1960s, as shown in this 2016 photo. The first station here was much smaller with a drive through canopy over the pump island and no service bays. The canopy has been replaced as seen in the first photo on this page.
