The Sudden Service Station was built in 1919. In 1935, the building was moved to its current site. The bay building at the right was a later addition. It operated as a gas station until 1978 and then housed various businesses after that. During the building's 2017 restoration, the bay building was demolished. The roof's eyebrow windows were added and the canopy supports replaced to match the building's original look. For more, see this website. [map]

Louisville, KY |

This former station was built for Mid-Continent Petroleum in 1927. By the early 1930s, there was a Diamond Oils projecting neon sign installed on the roof. In the mid-1930s it operated as a D-X station. Around 1968, it was housing a Sunoco station. The office and restrooms were under the canopy. The building has been vacant for many years. The smaller building shown in the bottom row of photos above must have been used for service bays. For more, see this website. [map]
