former station
Oxford Junction, IA |
 |
 |
 |
|
In 2000, this Oxford Junction station was restored as a tiny City Hall. While there is a DX sign, I don't know if that's the brand of gas that was sold here originally. It was definitely selling DX from the late 1930s until 1993. The station was built in 1919. [map]

This former White Eagle station was built in 1930. It now houses Paxton Street Auto. I believe the part of the building to the left of the gabled projection was a later addition. [map]

former station
Orient, IA |
 |
 |
|
This former station is from the 1930s. It is now dwarfed by the larger modern station's canopy in front of it. This was most likely built as a White Eagle station with the projecting, big gabled portion of the building removed later. By 2016, the building had been restored. A new canopy and pumps were installed in front of the building. [map]

former station
State Center, IA |
 |
 |
 |
|
This former station is also Tudor-influenced. It was most likely a local, one-time build rather than a repeated oil company design. The building has been repainted since these 2010 photos and is probably used by the Police Dept. which also occupies the building next door. [map]
