This Terrible Herbst location was built in 1979. This photo is from 2006. By 2014, it had become a Texaco station. There is another former Terrible Herbst station in Las Vegas and one in Kingman, AZ with similar designs. There are also former Terrible Herbst stations with this design in California, including this one in Barstow. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
This former Wilshire station now houses Primo Tires. There are still lots of surviving examples of these canopies in California. [map]

This former Signal station was built in 1946. It later housed a Husky station. By 2024, the building had been renovated as a nightclub but I believe it is vacant now. [map]

This former station was built in 1931. I believe that the building has been vacant since at least 2008. It has been repainted a few times in recent years. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

This former Phillips 66 station was built in 1965. It had been vacant since at least 2007. It reopened as a Union 76 station in 2026. New pumps were installed and Union 76 globe signs installed on the original trellis-style Phillips 66 canopy supports. There are only a handful of these double canopy Phillips 66 stations left around the country. There was another double canopy in Las Vegas which was demolished. [map]

former station
Reno, NV |
 |
 |
|
This former station was built around 1914. It was restored in 2001 by David Rocovits. The sign identifies it as the Borgward Garage, a reference to Rocovits' passion for Borgwald automobiles. One source refers to this building as the "West 2nd Street Filling Station" which makes me wonder if this structure was relocated. However, I'm told that this station has been here at 1st and Winter Streets since at least 1972. The pumps were replicas. Although the globes on top of the pumps advertised for Chevron and Mobil, I don't know if this station ever sold either of those brands. The pumps are gone now. [map]

This former station was a USA Gasoline station originally. It was probably built in the late 1960s or 1970s. By 2007, it was housing a Chevron and, in 2011, a Golden Gate station. The pumps had been removed and the building was vacant in 2014. It was still vacant in 2022. It was repainted and reopened around 2023 as a Valero station. [map]
