Agate Again: 1939
November 1939. "Agate, Sioux County, Nebraska." Back at the Grocry store. Medium format acetate negative by Arthur Rothstein for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
Hopperesque
At first glance I thought this might be a reference photo for a painting. Sure would be a great one.
Agated Community
At this point in my life, I would not mind living in this isolated dirt-farm outpost on the Plains in my own cottage, having my own (stocked) grocery store, and my OWN gas pumps at 5 cents a gallon with auto parts store. A Prepper's dream property. (I am not sure I would partake in Copenhagen, though).
The pump marks the spot
Kudos to CraigF for finding the location. Agate has undergone quite the dramatic transformation over the years, although I doubt that it ever would have been considered a bustling place.
Fill 'er up!
It looks like one of the gas pumps is still there.
