Wildwood Service

33285 N. US Rt. 45 (SE corner of Rt. 45 and Indian Ln.), looking SE. The place is still there and now has a large addition off the right side. The street visible on the left is Indian Ln. and the house on the upper left is 33348 N. Indian Ln.

This was actually Lee’s service station. I remember going there and they pumped your gas cleaned your windows. I know this was not wildwood Service that is off Gages Lake Rd. I cannot remember what it was called before it was Lee’s

The sign above the door reads 'WILDWOOD SERVICE - PENNZOIL', 33285 U. S. Route 45, Gages Lake, Illinois. Unfortunately, am unable to read the branding of gasoline on the gas pumps.
