"Ellwood Barnsdale Gas Station", Goleta, California

"Ellwood Barnsdale Gas Station", Goleta, 16x12 inches, oil on canvas, sold
This structure has always intrigued me. I went to Ellwood school and as a kid I always wanted to go inside. It must have been a welcome site in the old days when people drove from the Gaviota Coast. It was just given to the City of Goleta. Why don't we restore it now?
