Description
Grocery store or general store and gas station in mountain or rural location in a clearing surrounded by tall trees. The building is constructed of wood with a tree trunk and logs incorporated into the structure. There is a shaded porch on the left, and several barrels with spigots next to the porch. A car and man in a white shirt are at the gas station, a covered parking area on the right side of the building. A United States flag on a tall pole is in front of the store. Legible signs include: "Groceries," "Cold drinks," "Gas 23 c [cents]," and a very faded sign reading "Auto / Shell [with Shell Company symbol]."
