Outlaw Service Station in Glen Rose, Texas

Ed Young's Service Station aka Outlaw Service Station in Glen Rose, Texas.

Ed Young’s Service Station in Glen Rose, Texas is often called the Outlaw Service Station and was was built in 1928 when Ed Young saw how well the White Rock Roadhouse was doing next door.

During the 1920s the Outlaw Service station and road house became a hotspot for illegal alcohol (moonshine) sales and distribution. Some more familiar with the location mentioned the station was a speak easy as well. But with the roadhouse next next door being a speak easy, the service station was most likely one of the suppliers that might have offered drinks to their friends and trusted clients.

About the Image

The images were shot by hand during the late overcast afternoon using natural light with my Sony Nex-3N and a Sony SEL16F28 16mm f/2.8 lens. I then edited the images in Adobe Lightroom. Next, I post processed with Topaz Clarity to add texture, brighten, and bring out the details in the images. Then I removed the dust spots. Finally, I used Topaz DeNoise to remove the noise from the images.
