Spring Street Pure Oil Service Station - McMinnville, Tennessee

The Spring Street Service Station in McMinnville, Tennessee was designed by Carl August Petersen, a well-known architect in the oil industry, and is a quality example of the Pure Oil English Cottage design in its most detailed form. With its distinctive canopy and two-bay garage, this service station retains a high degree of integrity, including its decorative detailing, the copper window and door hoods and Old English "P" rendered on the exterior chimney. With a construction date of 1932, the Spring Street Service Station is an early representation of service stations in downtown McMinnville. For both its architectural as well as its historical significance, the Spring Street Service Station is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and was added to the registry on 11/21/2001.

It recent years it was restored and now houses an art studio known as Pure Art.

Image was taken during my trek to photograph all 95 county courthouses across my home state of Tennessee...now revisiting in order that the courthouses were photographed!

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
