The Sudden Service Station was built in 1919. In 1935, the building was moved to its current site. In recent years, it has housed a donut shop, a vacuum cleaner repair shop, and a junk shop. The bay building at the right was a later addition. During the building's 2017 restoration, the bay building was demolished. The office building's roof was replaced and original eyebrow windows were replicated. The building will be used as a public restroom. [map]
