Service Station (now Jimbo's Bait and Tackle)
c. 1930. Corner of 5th Ave. N.W. and 6th St. N.W.
The body of this former gasoline service station is reminiscent of a somewhat flattened milk carton with eight sides. The canopy covering the pump area is supported by two truncated piers. Its prime eye-catching feature is the small windmill projecting from the upper neck of the “milk carton.”
