( Geo. Cook Chevrolet / Conoco Gas station in Newark, IL  - This photo circa 1949 )

Yes, this is the same building as in the "Now" picture - separated in time by almost 60 years.
Built around 1939, with the help of friends and family, as a replacement for the first COOK CHEVROLET.
The original building, which was located across the street, burnt down. That site is now a Newark town playground.
This new building was built using windows, beams, and clay block salvaged from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair
