Anyone know the full story? Why is the station important, and why is it being moved, and to where?

It's being moved to Fairmount Park, somewhere up near Girard on the east side of the river (exact site TBD).

For those unwilling to read, it was in the first line of official gas stations in The U.S. There is historical context here, not many of them survived.

It's old and a few moneyed people like it, so it gets venerated.
