Steve, I would agree that the buildings are problematic. Sometimes the pump is in front of a 10 foot wide, stand alone building, no bigger than a small 1 car garage and quite interesting. More often, the abandoned pump sits on a bit of concrete pad in front of an expanded and re-skinned building that is now a convenience store. The new siding on the building belies the original building beneath. Regards, Bob S.
