7th Avenue E. at Locust Street

chicken shackCa. 1930.
One-and-a-half-story building, originally built as a gas station, and now a snack shop. Brick with asphalt shingle roof. Steeply pitched front and side gables. Projecting front gable forms entry portico which served to cover area for pumping gas. Original wing to west, filled in with brick at what was probably the service garage. Front door and windows original. Small one-story wing added to east, and a covered drive-through for the current use added to original west wing. Stylistic elements suggest that this may have been an early Pure Oil Station. Unfortunately, its construction date is beyond the period of significance for this district.
