former Cities Service station
Whiteville, TN
former Cities Service station
Murfreesboro, TN
This former Cities Service station in Whiteville was built in the 1930s. It has been vacant for many years. There is also an original service shed next to this building which I did not photograph. [map]

This former Cities Service station in Murfreesboro housed a CITGO station when these photos were taken in 2010. By 2013, the building had been painted orange. It was operating as Bethlehem Star Market and Gas. The building now houses a used car dealership office. [map]

former station? [gone]
Nashville, TN
This abandoned building in Murfreesboro appears to be a former station. I did not make note of the address for this building. Does anyone know the location or if it is still there?

This building in Nashville looks like a former station. It housed Bobbi's Tire Service when this photo was taken in 2007. The building had apparently been vacant since around 2015. It was demolished around 2024.

former Pure Oil station
Covington, TN
This former Pure Oil station in Ridgely has been vacant for many years. [map]

This former Pure Oil station in Covington may have had an adjacent bay building originally. The blue porcelain enamel panels have been painted over for many years. The building appears to be vacant now. [map]

former station
Newbern, TN
This former station has been used as a car wash for many years. [map]

former station [gone?]
Memphis, TN
former station
Halls, TN
This former station in Memphis had five remaining gas pump islands when this photo was taken in 2010. However, the pumps were long gone. By 2014, the station was blocked from view but it was still there. It is probably gone now. [map]

This former station in Halls was restored with Gulf colors and a sign by 2022 but I don't know if it was ever a Gulf station. The building now houses the Alleyway Station restaurant. [map]

former station
Sewanee, TN
This Sewanee station is now home to Sewanee Auto Repair. The building looks to be from the 1930s or 1940s. It is faced with Tennessee flat rock, as is the post office next door and the bank across the street. There are still a couple of functioning old pumps out front but the focus is on repairs. The shape and proportions of this building makes me wonder if this wasn't a Pan-Am station originally. [map]

former Pan-Am station
Chattanooga, TN
This Pan-Am station was built in 1945. The building now houses a nail salon. [map]

former Pan-Am station [gone]
Cowan, TN
This former Pan-Am station was vacant in 2007 when this photo was taken. The building appeared to still be vacant in 2014. By 2022, it had been demolished.

former Pan-Am station
Jackson, TN
This Pan-Am station was known as the P&L Service Station. The office was wider than the standard design and now has a false roof. There may have been another Pan-Am in Jackson with the bays on the right. [map]

former Pan-Am station [gone]
Ridgely, TN
This former Pan-Am station housed Markham Auto & Farm Service when this photo was taken in 2010. In 2013, the building was housing Buck's Detail Shop. By 2016, the building was housing Southern Building & Fab and the building had been painted brick red. In 2019, the building was gone.

former Pan-Am station

This former Pan-Am station has been closed and abandoned for many years. There are still a number of these former stations in the South including this one that was in Ocean Springs, MS. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
