Hartman Wadham's was a chain that built service station buildings with a Japanese pagoda influence. Notice the W on the light globes - which stands for Wadham, not Wisconsin. This station was at the intersection of Olin Av. and Park St. We understand there was a place for truckers to sleep upstairs. Later owners were Frank and Annie Moore - Moore's Wadhams Mobilgas. They added a diner - the Castle Restaurant, which Annie operated.The station was also owned by Mike Falci, with Rosie (Stutz) Falci running the restaurant. 1129 S.
