There were a few stations like that - tucked up against a residential house - in the town I grew up in, in the 1970s.

That's just down the road from my house. Building is still intact and presently houses a Verizon cellphone store. The company that built and originally ran it is still in business, and sells me my fuel oil.

How neat, you can still see the roof of the original house off to the right.

It was still running in its original form as a gas station into the early 90s. The brand changed at some point from Sunoco to Gulf, with an appropriate paint job, but otherwise there was no alteration to the building at all until Verizon moved in. It's stucco over poured concrete, which must've been an interesting thing to see built.
My father, such as he was, even drove an oil truck for a brief while, for the company that ran it. Small, small world.

That photo must have been reversed. It makes it look like he can play that guitar left-handed!
If I remember right, I don't think he switched the strings around, either, so self-taught he learned to play it basically upside-down AND backwards? I may be wrong about that. His style of rock was not a strong interest of mine, but my goodness he could make a guitar talk!
