DMac Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Admiral Motor Court & Old Humble Gas Station. Are both buildings still standing? Any plans for restoration? Anyone have any photos and/or old post card images? Each was across the street from one another in 1938. Respectfully Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
