Moore's Auto Body (Standard Gas and Oil Supply)

-A A +A
Standard Gas and Oil Supply
1925, Smith and Van Dervoort. 401 W. Broad St.

Designed and built at a time when driving was romantic, this unusual Neo-Mediterranean survivor is one of the most ornate gas station buildings ever constructed in the Richmond area. Although the pumps are gone, the glamour remains.
