1290 Tecumseh Road East

This photo shows the Supertest Gas Station at the north west corner of Tecumseh Rd E and Hall in 1960. It appears that the station remained at this location from the 1930s though about 1985, when the budling was demolished and replaced with a Big V Pharmacy.

In recent years the building was home to Family Video which operated from 2010- 2019. After sitting vacant for a few years, the building has come full circle and has recently reopened as a pharmacy.
