Photo 20-WDU-34

Comments

Shell service station, 75th Street and Illinois Route 53. This station was located next to to Grand Restaurant, whose parking lot can be seen just to the west of the station. View is looking west, with 75th Street along the RH edge, and Route 53 along the lower edge. Intersection has changed completely, as well as this corner of the intersection. The Shell station is long gone, and now there’s a Shell station in the opposite (SE) corner. This is a different view of the same location as seen in the previous picture. Notice the Standard sign at the bottom? See 1983 Photo 21-WDU-30 to see that station.
