This former Conoco station was built in 1940. It appeared to be vacant or used for storage when these photos were taken in 2011. The building remains vacant. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

Red Wing, MN
This former Conoco station was built in 1940. The first photo above is from around then. The second bay was added to the building in the mid-1950s. In 2012, when these photos were taken, the station was still selling gas as Gernentz Auto Service. By 2015, the pumps had been removed. [map]

This C-W Valley Co-op station has card-controlled gas pumps for local farmers the belong to the cooperative. I believe this was previously a regular gas station. For more, see this website. [map]


former station
Minneapolis, MN
former station
Whalan, MN
This former station last housed the Bratt Tree Company. It appears to be vacant now. Although there are Phillips 66 pumps in front, I don't know if they were there originally or installed much later for looks. The building was previously painted white with a red roof. For more, see this website. [map]

This former station is known as Ernie's Station. It was built in 1917. The pumps and signs were added during a recent restoration.


Rayvic Company
Minneapolis, MN

2008:
2012:
The Rayvic Company sold Mobil gas in later years but I'm told it was a Texaco at one time. It opened in 1936 as a gas station and garage. In the late 1940s, the building tripled in size and became Rayvic. The owner retired and the station closed in 2008. Later that year, the building was adapted for office space for Clockwork Active Media Systems. [top two photos thanks William Zimmerman] [map]


former station
New Ulm, MN
This former station was built in 1938 as Shell station for the Retzlaff Motor Company, a Dodge dealer. It is now used by the Brown County Historical Society for storage and exhibit space. [map]
