Step back in Harper Texas History!

Building #1 was a Gulf Station built in 1948 by Walter Ottmers and in service until approximately 1967.

Building #2 was the Harper Volunteer Fire Department built in 1951 and used until approximately 1978.

Here is a story clip from the local Chamber Newsletter:

"The STATION in Harper, Texas. Two iconic buildings...the old GULF Gas Station and the old HVFD Building...built in 1948 and 1951 respectively. These buildings are being brought back to life and to the people of Harper."
