| This former Standard Oil station was built in 1927. It originally had just one service bay. In 1936, a second bay was added. The station closed in 1979. In 1985, the Tippecanoe County Library bought the property with plans to turn it into a parking lot. The library used the station for storage for a while. In 1991, Don Stein, a local business man and car collector bought the station and had it restored. During the restoration, the original roof tiles were found in a warehouse in Ohio and were provided for free. The building housed the Red Crown Mini-Museum featuring Red Crown and Standard Oil gasoline memorabilia as well as antique cars from Stein's collection for many years. In 2018, the museum's collection and many of the signs were removed. The building began housing the County's 24-hour vending machine library. The original interior was preserved. [map] |
