Rock Station, Correctionville, Iowa
Rock Station was a Mobil Oil Gas Station.  It was built in 1934 by Emmett Nafe from local river and glacial stone.  
U.S. Route 20 stretches from Boston, Massachusetts, through Chicago to Newport, Oregon.  After the route was designated a federal highway in 1926, and Henry Ford’s affordable Model T and Model A cars became a popular way to travel, traffic grew quickly on U.S. 20.  Correctionville, located on U.S. 20, was a convenient place to stop for a meal and gasoline.  Taking advantage of this new opportunity, Correctionville entrepreneurs opened several gas stations between 1926 and 1934.  Rock Station was one of these, and Cities Services Filling Station was another.  Both stations still stand.
Rock Station operated for over 40 years, closing in the late 1970s.  In 1999, the unused station was purchased by the City of Correctionville.  The station received a new roof, floor, plumbing, and electrical system in 2000, with funding provided by Missouri River Historical Development.
