Esso relic?

June 6, 2017-
This base for a lighted sign on the NW corner of Simpson and Summit possibly dates back nearly 60 years ago when the current vacant building on that corner was originally opened as an Esso gas station.

Esso Gas Station

Aug. 23, 2016. When this building was first constructed ca. 1960 it opened as an Esso gas station, I think. Over the years it has served, among other things, as the original Gordon's Grocery, a real estate/tax preparation office, and a motorcycle repair shop which was the last incarnation a few years ago. The side building was added not too much later than the central structure.
