The ensilebrick (spelling) siding dates the building back to the 40s or earlier. The pump is from the 60s or 70s. It looks almost new.

The price for gasoline on the pump reads 60 cents per gallon. Canada dropped the Imperial System of measurement and adopted the Metric System (at least in many ways, but not completely) in 1975 (I believe). So, the closure of this gas station seems to suggest it occurred prior to that date.

Thanks for looking. Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

Thank you for your comment and information, I'mTrying. Much appreciated. Yes, the pump does looks to be in remarkable condition for being 50 to 60 years old. I took this photo in a Ghost Town in Southern Saskatchewan.

Good shot, Cotondog! Interesting information as well. An imperial gallon is about 4.5 litres. That works out to roughly 13.5 cents a litre (liter for our American friends). Speaking of Trudeau's conversion to the metric system, I have to tell you a funny story. In early June 1975, a buddy and I were canoeing way up in NW Ontario. One day we came up on a remote fishing camp that was being used by a group of Americans. One of them saw us and invited us in for a cup of coffee. He was alone, as his buddies were out fishing. At one point during our conversation he asked, "What kind of weather system do you have up here? This morning we turned on the radio (Kenora) and the host said it was 9 degrees. My buddy shouted out "Holy s**t, build a fire, it's freezing out there." I went outside and it didn't feel anything like 9 degrees."
