 Gulf Oil Corporation of Pennsylvania service station was at the intersection of Bayshore Boulevard and Swann Avenue. In the 1950s, it was named Latimer’s Gulf Service. It was a popular outlet, central to Hyde Park and Davis Islands. In 1984, the owners petitioned to rezone the property for institutional/professional use, and in 1992, Ken Ward purchased the property for his law practice. He demolished the original office building in 2008, and constructed the current office, now Ward-Mitchell Civil Trial Attorneys.
