This former Pure Oil station was built in 1933. By the 1960s, it had become a Gulf station and was known as the Old Kiley Gas Station. It later became the Great Bay Clam Co. Faced with demolition, the building was saved in 1976 and moved to its present location. The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. In the 1980s, the building was used as a medical supplies store and later as legal and loan office space. The Bread Basket bakery took over the building in 1993 and restored it in 1996.
