This former Magnolia station was built in 1925. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was vacant when this photo was taken. The building was still vacant in 2014. In 2015, Sustainable Urban Mobility (SUMO), a car-sharing service moved into the building. A modified shipping container was placed under the canopy to be used as office space. That business closed in 2016 and the shipping container was removed. In 2018, a food truck for CatHead Biscuits was installed in front of the building. Around 2019, the building was repainted and a food truck for Bee's Style: Egg Rolls & Fried Rice was parked there. [map]

Fordyce, AR |

This former Marathon Oil station hadn't sold gas since the late 1970s or early 1980s but it still functions as a garage. It was built around 1928 and was also known as the Lion Oil Service Station. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The canopy structure very much resembled a late 1920s Richfield station. It was removed sometime after 2014. However, the rest of the building still stands.
