I thought this was pretty cool. This 1949 photo was taken on Coney Island Avenue and Avenue T. Today, a BP sits in its footprint, and the neat-o tower is long gone. Anyone know when this was torn down to make way for what stands now?

The [seller of this photo](http://cgi.ebay.com/1949-CI-Av-T-Gas-Station-Brooklyn-NYC-Gravesend-Photo-/390250293675?ref=bklyner.com#ht%5F500wt%5F694) had very little to say about its history.
