Joe Grawe Collection. This photo of Larry's [Brownson] Standard station appeared in the BI; 7 March 1956, centennial edition of the newspaper. Mr. Bronson bought the station in 1949 from Roy Henninger. The station was rebuilt in 1957. (In 1989 it was home to Kentucky Fried Chicken). Location: W. Bremer between 6th and 7th St., southside. Scanned from original 4x5 negative. As of 2026 the site is home to Taco John's. The large structure behind the station, now an apartment house, was the Ellis home which once sat alone in the center of the block.
