Gas
Man of Woodland
We
know America has a preoccupation with cars, but how about the
stuff cars run on? Meet Mark Reiff, a Woodland man whose love
affair extends from the car to the gas pump. Mark began his collection
of gas pumps four years ago, and today his garage is lined with
antique pumps in a variety of shapes and sizes. His collection
even includes a gasoline pump
from 1914! But Mark's obsession
with the gas pump did not stop at
collecting.

Instead, he remodeled his front lawn to look like a real gas station
complete with a 1950's diner, created a general store in the foyer
and added a fake car through the front fence. Now Mark's residence
is attracting recognition as a tourist destination and as even
appeared in an issue of the National Enquirer. Referred to by
friends as the Winchester Mansion of Woodland, Mark's penchant
for constantly altering his residence promises to keep him busy
for many years to come.
