City of Hartford, Wisconsin

Lohr's Gas Station was built in 1928 by Lawrence Lohr on the front lawn of his residence at 158 Branch Street. It was operational as a gas station when $1.00 could purchase 5-8 gallons of gas.

The historic feature of this building is the Oriental pagoda-like roof with bright red roof tiles. Gas stations with pagoda roofs originated in the Midwest. They were popular from 1915 through the 1930s, and a few still exist. The front half of this building was a drive-through open canopy which was enclosed in the 1950s when it became Troeller Tire Shop and later the State Farm Insurance Office, currently owned by Gary and Kathleen Schlieve.
