Bill S and list;   Yes, you are correct, in that there was a business
just SW of the HC Loop.                                                  

At the time of Speedrail, htat business was a gasoline station with a
sales floor in the building, much like today's Gas Stations.  A like
business remains on that site.                                                          

The Standard Oil facility was a small collection of horizontal tanks
with a Standard Oil nameplate affixed.  This business (whatever) was
east of the HC loop and east of the lead track to the WEPCO Line Pole
Yard.                           

See Plate 6 in the TM book.                      

The Standard Oil facility is not shown on that map so, I expect that a
search of City Records should show it.
