History Retreats Itself

At the convergence of two busy streets, the triangular property was first developed as a Standard Oil service station in 1940. The original building remains and has housed a series of commercial businesses since the station’s closure. A new use to revitalize the property was envisioned with an ice cream shop and grill.

The site is reoriented, placing parking at the back of the building and a new patio, lawn, and landscape features at the front. A refreshed exterior includes new storefront, awnings, and playful signage. An addition accommodates cold storage and prep space. The original building houses a kitchen and customer service area that accentuates the volume of the former service bays. The reimagined property serves as a central gathering space to the surrounding residential neighborhood and is a unique destination for patrons.
