Metcalfe Station
Shelby, NC
Metcalfe Station was a narrow gauge railroad stop from 1899-1943. In the later years, the building also served as a Texaco station. The station was restored and opened to the public in 2001. The Texaco sign is the same one that was originally used at this station. For more, see this website. [map]

former station
Siler City, NC
This former station was built in 1931. I don't know if it was always a Gulf station. These photos are from 2010. The Gulf sign was removed in 2016. I'm told that the letters were stolen. The building has been repainted. It has housed a tire shop for many years. [map]

This former Sinclair station was an example of the company's castle-style stations which are still in abundance. These photos are from 2007. Since 2012, the building had been vacant and surrounded by chain link fencing. It had been demolished by 2022.

Farmville, NC
This former Sinclair station has been vacant for many years. [map]

This former station in Farmville might still have been in use as a repair garage when this photo was taken in 2010. This might have been a Gulf station originally. Between 2013 and 2016, the building was refurbished and repainted. It was still vacant in 2016. By 2021, it was housing the GlasStation, a glass-blowing shop. [map]

former Gulf station
Henderson, NC
This former Gulf station was built in the late 1930s. The top two photos are from 1938; the third is from 1948. In the late 1980s, the station still had the white paneling but it was very run down. The bottom row of photos is from 2010. By 2013, the windows were boarded up. It still remains vacant. [vintage photos thanks Robby Delius] [map]
