Birnschein Garage - 1939

Herman Birnschein built this station in 1931 with Old English architecture using some great stone work. It was the Point Beach Service Station. The station had a show room for new Chevrolets and 3 repair-service work bays. Herman sold around 50 new cars and 100,000 gallons of gas per year, plus Caterpillars, radios, bicycles as well as snacks at his counter. He sold Standard Oil products and Goodyear tires. The station was the hub of the village, a stop for the Lake and Bay View Bus Line. It was sold to Harry Nell in 1965 and then to Herb and Bob Mueller in 1968.
