Texaco gas stations disappeared from Canada in 1989 when they were sold to Imperial Oil with retail operations converted to the Esso brand. When I took this photo there was no one around to ask about this building. Judging by the other signs on the building I assume the owner is a sign collector. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

The old star of the American road. Looks like this place could be in a 1950s movie or something. :)
