The Jay Risk Standard Oil Service Station, in the 1659 block of Colorado Boulevard, turns 103 years old, and while preservationists want to see it restored, the owned has filed demolition papers

Standard Oil of California built the station in 1919 on Spring Street in Downtown L.A, according to the city's survey of historic resources. It was moved to its current site in 1931.

According to city historic survey, the building “appears to be the oldest remaining service station building in the city.”

The new owners have said that they want the station gone for a surface parking lot, a use that might not even be allowed under the Colorado Boulevard Specific Plan. But their demolition permit is still moving through the system.
