In addition to this nicely restored station, there are vintage B/A signs and other items on display. At one time, this building was used by Grist Mill Auctions. It now houses B/A Vintage which sells chalk paint and specialized interior home finishes. For more, see this website. [map] |

| former Joy Oil Co. station Toronto, ON |

 |
 |
 |
| This castle-style station was built in the late 1930s for the Joy Oil Co. There were at least 16 other locations that looked like this one but this is the only one left. This former station was deteriorating and nearly demolished before it was moved across Lake Shore Blvd. in 2007. These photos are from that year. The station is actually two separate structures. The turreted building served as the office while the larger building was used for service bays. In 2008, the buildings were restored. There were plans to use them as a snack bar and information center. However, as of 2021, they still remained vacant and were surrounded by chain link fencing. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. [map] |

This Texaco station was built in 1929. It was known as the West Side Service Station until 1943 when it became the Little Chief Service Station. In 2002, the building was converted for use as a police station. This same design was used in the U.S. Another example can be found in Canfield, OH. [photo thanks Elissa H.] [map]
This Canadian Tire station was designed by Bob McClintock. The style was developed in 1968. There were 30 built of various sizes. This station had closed by 2022 and was surrounded by chain link fencing. It was demolished by 2023. There are a couple of other surviving stations in Mississauga and Hamilton. There is or was one in Orillia, ON. Does anyone know of any others that are still left? For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4. |
