1959 - Pure Oil Station (Shaw Brothers Oil Co.) at southwest corner of NW 103 Street and 12 Avenue, Dade County
SW corner of NW 103 Street and 12 Avenue, Dade County, Florida
A nice new Pure station with fresh asphalt and concrete and modern looking gas pumps. But there's nothing like great zoning practices of putting gas stations next to existing homes to screw over some poor schmoe who unfortunately bought too close to the corner.
I am one of the Shaw's from Shaw Bros Oil. My Dad JM Shaw serviced the area from Homestead to Key West
The original Shaws, including Garrison's and HO Shaw are from Adel, Ga and headed to Miami Fl many years ago. My Grandfather was a Mayor of Adel for one year. I was born in Miami in 1940, lived in Homestead from Kindergarden until the 7th grade. Then we moved back to Miami when I was in 8th grade. I now am living in Franklin NC and am 83 yrs old.
