A Standard Station in Gardiner, Montana, could well have been a 1920’s station or from any decade through the 1970’s.
It is of log construction in a sort of “Old West Design” or “Western Mountain States Style” that exemplifies what tourists still find fascinating. The elk antlers on the
buildings add to the atmosphere.
There is a cabins sign on the roof and there are log cabins visible in the background. Note also the AAA sign and the crown on the gas pump. It is equally revealing that there
are none of the now common automotive supply signs for tires, oil or food items. There is also no indication that any type of repair work is offered.
