Description

Ed Young’s Service Station in Glen Rose, Texas
Ed Young’s Service Station in Glen Rose, Texas is often called the Outlaw Service Station or just “Sycamore Grove.” It was built in 1928 after Ed Young realized how successful the White Rock Road House was doing.
During the 1920s the Outlaw Service station and road house became an hotspot for illegal alcohol (moonshine) sales and distribution. At  one time it was even a speak easy. At that time it was often referred to as the “Moonshine Capitol of Texas”
After prohibition both the White Rock Road House and Ed Young’s Service Station businesses declined. As business declined, these impressive buildings exchanged hands and were eventually shut down.
