Formerly located at the northeast corner of Garry Street and Graham Avenue in Winnipeg, a one-storey brick building, measuring 50 feet by 100 feet, was built in 1930 as a service station for the British American Oil Company. The building originally had four service bays and three gasoline pumps.
Later owned by Dominion Motors Limited, the Ford dealership next door, in 1958 it became one of the first two Domo service stations for the newly founded Domo Gasoline Corporation.
The building has been demolished and the site is now occupied by a surface parking lot.
