| former Sudden Service Station Hopkinsville, KY |
 |
| The Sudden Service Station was built in 1919. In 1935, the building was moved to its current site. In recent years, it has housed a donut shop, a vacuum cleaner repair shop, and a junk shop. The bay building at the right was a later addition. During the building's 2017 restoration, the bay building was demolished. The office building's roof was replaced and original eyebrow windows were replicated. The building will be used as a public restroom. [map] |

| This former station housed the Lee Insurance Agency. It appears to be vacant now. [map] |
| former gas station Louisville, KY |
|
 |
 |
| This former station appears to share the same building design as the one described above in Hopkinsville. This building has housed the Cherokee Animal Hospital since 1980. The building is probably from the late 1920s. [map] |
| former Standard Oil station Bowling Green, KY |
||
 |
 |
 |
| This former Standard Oil station was built in 1921. It remained in operation until 1956. The building was then used as a used car lot and a gospel music store. It was restored in 2008. The pumps and sign are replicas. This building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [map] |
| former Standard Oil station Lawrenceburg, KY |
 |
| This former Standard Oil station housed Cody's Auto Techtronics when this photo was taken in 2010. By 2018, the building had been remodeled and repainted red and white. The canopy was removed. The building now houses Searcy Heating & Cooling [map] |
| former station Paducah, KY |
||
 |
 |
 |
| This former station was built in 1917, most likely as a Standard Oil station. It shares the same building design as the stations above. Although there is a Texaco sign on the lot, it was installed in recent years and is probably a replica. I don't know if this was ever a Texaco station. The building was restored sometime after 2007 and is used as an information and tourist center. For more, see this website. [map] |
| former gas station Louisville, KY |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| This former station has been vacant for many years. It features an enormous canopy. The office must have been the smaller separate building. Under the canopy, there are restrooms and other mysterious features - like whatever is under the tarp and the trough-like area to the right of it. [map] |
