| This former Mobil station features six cylindrical pumps designed by Eliot Noyes in the late 1960s. They were no longer operable when these photos were taken in 2012. The pumps were probably accompanied by mushroom-shaped canopies like these in Denton, NC. The building housed Terry's Auto Service in 2014. By 2018, the pumps and Mobil signs were gone. The building was completely remodeled beyond recognition or rebuilt. |
