This is the former Gimmel Sinclair gas station with its drive through canopy. Over the years it was also known as Gimmel Auto Service and Gimmel Auto Parts. It was owned by Ed & Alva Gimmel.

Judging by the modern looking NAPA Auto Parts signs in the windows I'm guessing they may have been the last occupants of the building. The old gas station sits on the corner of Main St and Ladd Ave. This is where the original 1926 Route 66 turned right and went down the hill to the spot where it met the 1928 bypass. A little piece of the original 1928 road can still be found there.
