This might be the smallest old gas station I’ve come across. It’s in Broad Brook, a tiny community in north central Connecticut. To see my whole collection of old gas stations in the U.S., go here.
PS: I got a comment from reader Chris in January 2019 explaining what this building is all about (see below). He sent along a couple photos too, one from the really early days and another more recent one. I had seen the larger building when I took this photo but didn’t realize that it was part of the original set up. A large repair building and a smaller building for the pump attendant. The photos he sent did not display properly in the comments section, so I am putting them below:
The Urge to be Someplace Else 
Now that’s the kind of minimalist expression of the great American hi way I can relate to…

And it looks like it was hauled in and set in place on top of CMU blocks at this site. Almost a temporary-type foundation. Hmmmmm.

That Pump Attendant House has been there since the early 1920’s. It was/is a pre-fab kit built in NJ. The exterior is all tin wrapped, and the roof panels are stamped metal. The interior has hard wood floors, and it was heated originally with a wood stove. Here’s a picture of the pump shed and the repair building behind it, as well as an original picture circa 1933. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lcig5i3myehiipi/2015-07-10%2015.06.20.jpg?dl=0

Wow, Chris! Thanks for all that info and for the photos. They didn’t display correctly in your comment, so I’ve added them to the original post.
