Passed this piece of Americana on 127 this year in Tennessee. Still had the old pumps out front. Any idea of the age of the pumps and what type of station this may have been?

Apparently the owner passed away and his son closed it up and it has remained so ever since. The roof has collapsed but contents remain. Way cool.

Well I was looking at the horizontal green/white stripe porcelain panels above the service bay and office areas. Texaco maybe?

Take a look at the Texaco Station trim pieces that are for sale in the Bid section. They look quite a bit like the remaining couple on this building. Just guessing of course.
To see a station like this in the wild still with its pumps out front was like seeing a unicorn for me. Would Texaco have used those pumps?
