1940
The corner building is demolished for a gas station on Eighth Avenue
In 1932 this stretch of the Eighth Avenue blockfront near West 13th Street was lined with modest three-story rowhouses with shops on the ground floors, including sellers of keys, bottlers' supplies and malt hops. Around 1940 the corner building was demolished for a gas station, and a photograph shows Weber's Auto Service as the first auto business there. A demolition permit was filed in 1974 for the remaining three-story buildings in the row.

September
The corner gas station shuts in 2011 and its underground tanks are pulled out
Until early fall 2011 the gas station and mini-market at Eighth Avenue and West 13th Street fuels taxis and commuters. A Buildings Department permit from August 2011 covers removal of three underground storage tanks, and a permit the following March covers installing two new ones. Village Preservation reads this as a sign that the lot, inside the Greenwich Village Historic District, will stay a gas station.
