Colorized photo from 1941
Original title: No Caption
Photographer: Russell Lee
Location: Lewiston or Genesee, ID

I'm not 100% certain where this place is, I'm pretty sure its in a town named Lewiston, Idaho, as there is an ad in the window for their rodeo. But it could be one town over. I never understood why in the past no one had proper names, addresses, phone numbers etc on the building.

I looked for every garage, Chevy service, light testing places in the 1940's in the whole state and it came out blank. I'm betting at least one of those two buildings are still there though.

I also never understood why there is no brand loyalty in gas, there are often two or more different companies pumps there.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
