This very nice canopy station in Jackson, Michigan is now a hair salon. It appears to be in great shape.

Here's a fantastic 1920s garage and filling station along the former Pike's Peak Ocean-to-Ocean Highway in eastern Illinois: Another station down the street: It's been a busy month, so that's all I have right now. Feel free to add your own finds! Thanks, Wes

Thanks guys for your recent posts. Always enjoy this thread and seeing what is still surviving today. It's a big country out there and I'll bet we have a lot more to find and post. BTW, the red/orange cottage is absolutely killer!

Shot with HP pstc3100 at 2009-12-26 This location was branded Texaco in the 1950's and in the 1960's & 70's it was branded Marathon with the pumps in the front only. After that it was an antique shop & now a super nice looking residence. located on US-12, Moscow, Michigan. Shot with KODAK Z712 IS ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA at 2009-12-26
