Two Things That Should NOT be Combined

Gas Station
It looks simple enough.

A nice little gas station: actually a kind of gas station museum with several old pumps and various vintage signage on display.  The architecture itself is very practical and straight-forward.

Unfortunately, someone thought this would be a good idea to make this station an addition to quaint Victorian house.  I didn't get a chance to go inside.  I couldn't bring myself to it, so I'm left wondering if the original porch existing inside this station or if it was salvaged to create the side entrance.
