small little abandoned gas station in the ghost town of Speyside. here you will find a main building, two rusty old gas pumps, and a shed with a bunch of trash in it. the house is borded up at the front, but there are a couple of access points to the side (on the little porch) and back, where some windows aren't even boarded up. inside, you can see some office chairs, what looks to be a mattress, and some old furniture, likely from when this station was still up and running. based on my research and just taking a look at those gorgeous trimmings (?) at the edge of the roof, this was likely built in the 50s.
i call this stinkytown bc duuude this place REEEEEEKED. like if i found out there was a dead raccoon or fox inside the building, i wouldnt be surprised. hence the lack of pictures (and only exterior pictures) - i highkey wanted to get out of there as fast as i possibly could. hope the stench clears up if you decide to visit yourself :')
some articles/posts i found about Speyside and this gas station in particular:
