Home Oil Co

Home Oil Co. Station Located in the 200 Block of east Pike Street, on the north side next to the alley. Note the back of the Strand Theater. The house on the left has been a number of different restaurants in the last 40 years. Home Oil Co. was active from 1929 thru 1979 and was the predecessor to Phillips Oil Co. This Station was possibly active thru the 1930s thru 1950s. Photo posted to the "Crawfordsville Memory Lane" Facebook page.

UPDATE June 26, 2020:

Mike Pritchett: That was next to the Bungalow (by alley, I think). The Bungalow was where the Mexican restaurant is now and it was owned by the Mounts (at that time) - think Francis & Mount, back in the day.

Correct, Rita Mount Marcum? The station was owned by Earl "Tub" Chambers and he also worked at Horner's Automotive. Rita confirmed it (the house) was owned by Francis & Mount - and Earl "Tub" Chambers owned the station .
