This mid-50s gas station, garage and grocery store on Railroad St. at Rowe was built by Ted Glass and and Art Dwyer who moved there business to this location from a spot on Main Street after Railroad became the eastbound Route 66 in early 1953. McLean was the first town in Gray County to have any one way streets.

An addition on the west end of the station at some point in time. I don't know what kind of a gas was sold here but it has some interesting lighting fixtures on each end of the pump island. The flat roof section behind the main building was a small grocery store.

x Two old light fixtures and three gas pumps still stand in front of station/garage located on Railroad St. and Owe St. I don't recall ever seeing lights like those shown here on the pump island..
