Old service station gets facelift
By Lynsi Musselman
Driving down Albany’s Main Street, many residents have been watching the transformation taking place to a building that has been a local fixture since 1920.
Father and son team Raymond Taylor Jr. and Raymond Taylor III, both of whom go by Raymond, are undertaking the restoration of the Magnolia Gas Station that serviced the town until the late 1950s.
Both father and son live outside of Albany now, one in Woodway, Texas and one in Aledo, but neither wanted to see the building demolished.
