This former Sinclair station was built in 1929, and the Spanish Eclectic
style building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1996. The gas pumps which would have stood on either side of the planter
on the pump island were removed in the mid 1960s.
After the station closed the building was used as a an automobile repair
shop and later yet a discount muffler shop. Rossi Brothers Window &
Door Company moved into the building in 1972. This building is located
at 11th St. at S. Jamestown.
