2011:
2020:
This former Texaco station was built in 1929 in a Spanish Mission style building with vigas projecting from below the roofline. In the mid-1950s, porcelain panels were installed on the building during conversion to Texaco's Teague design. The station was known as Elmer's Texaco from 1953 until it closed in 1978. The building was vacant from at least 2007 until 2014 when it was restored for The Pump Bar. The owner bought a Texaco sign from Memphis. The vintage pole is used to support a modern sign for The Pump. The Texaco sign is displayed inside the bar. [map]

This former Cities Service station housed the Speedometer Service Co. for many years. By 2015, the building had been painted blue and was housing the Henbit Market. One source says that this station was built around 1933 while another says 1939. However, it appears to be from the 1950s or 1960s. In 2016, the building was housing the Henbit Market. Since 2018, the building has housed Bobby O's pizza shop. [map]

Alva, OK
This former Texaco station was vacant when this photo was taken in 2011. By 2014, the building had been demolished. This station was an example of the company's Matawan design produced by Peter Muller-Munk Associates and introduced in 1965. The prototype was built in Matawan, NJ. The stations were originally built in New Jersey, New York, and Oklahoma. The fieldstone masonry and porcelain enamel panels on this building are original. Most of these buildings have been remodeled beyond recognition. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
