Henry And Johanna Van Maren House-Diamond Filling Station
In 1928 the house was converted for use as a filling station. John operated the station. They lived in the second-floor apartment. The yellow and red paint scheme are the Diamond Oil Company's colors. The canopy, added in 1928, originally had a gable roof with half-timbering in the gable end. It was altered to its present appearance in 1956. The gas pumps were located between the columns. In 1955 the filling station became a D-X station. Cordelia Vander Linden sold the property in 1967. The building's conversion into a filling station is what makes it historically significant. It has subsequently housed a travel agency, realtor office, and potter's studio. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
