This Perley Burrill Fuel Oil station claims to be "America's oldest filling station". I assume they mean the oldest station still in operation but I don't know if this claim is true. Does anyone know when this station was built?

This former station originally sold fuel and range oil. The owners added a gas pump in the 1920s. In the 1950s and 1960s, the station was known as Frank Gogan's Mobil. Sometime after that, it became a CITGO. At some point between 2002 and 2004 when the first two photos were taken, it had become a Shell station. By 2011 when the third photo was taken, the building was vacant and the pumps had been removed.
