| Barnsdall-Rio Grande station Goleta, CA | |||
 |
 |
 |
 |
| This former Barnsdall-Rio Grande station was built in 1929. The 40-foot-tall tower functioned as a water tower, providing pressurized water to the station. The station won many awards and was a showcase for the Rio Grande Oil Company which had oil fields nearby. This station is located on a bypassed section of old Highway 101. I believe the station has been vacant since it closed in 1950. The building is a protected landmark. For more, see this website. [map] |

| former station [gone] Berkeley, CA |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| This former station was designed by Walter H. Ratcliff, Jr. and built in 1930. The station was originally operated by the Richfield Oil Company. The surrounding buildings on the lot appear to have been service bays. The property was last used as a parking lot for University of California at Berkeley shuttle buses. The buildings were demolished in 2021 to build new student housing. |
| Carmel Highlands Station Carmel, CA | |
 |
 |
| The Carmel Highlands Station was most likely built in the mid-1930s when the Coast Highway was completed. It is still operating as a gas station. The building next door is used as a convenience store. It may have been used as a service garage or restaurant. Does anyone know more about these buildings? [map] |
