former station
Oxford Junction, IA |
 |
 |
 |
|
In 2000, this Oxford Junction station was restored as a tiny City Hall. While there is a DX sign, I don't know if that's the brand of gas that was sold here originally. It was definitely selling DX from the late 1930s until 1993. The station was built in 1919. [map]

This former White Eagle station was built in 1930. It now houses Paxton Street Auto. I believe the part of the building to the left of the gabled projection was a later addition. [map]

former station
Orient, IA |
 |
 |
|
This former station is from the 1930s. It is now dwarfed by the larger modern station's canopy in front of it. This was most likely built as a White Eagle station with the projecting, big gabled portion of the building removed later. By 2016, the building had been restored. A new canopy and pumps were installed in front of the building. [map]

former station
State Center, IA |
 |
 |
 |
|
This former station is also Tudor-influenced. It was most likely a local, one-time build rather than an repeated oil company design. The building has been repainted since these 2010 photos and is probably used by the Police Dept. which also occupies the building next door. [map]
