Anna, IL
This former station in Algonquin looks somewhat similar to a Phillips 66 but I don't believe it ever was. It had housed Kings Motor Sales when these photos were taken in 2009. The building was vacant by 2012 and the pumps were gone. The building was still vacant in 2023. [map]

The former station in Anna was being used for furniture sales when this photo was taken in 2010. The building was vacant in 2019. [map]

former station
Blue Island, IL
This former station now houses Mufflers 4 Less. The slate roof appears to be original. The doorways probably had rustic stonework around them originally. The bay building was obviously added later. This may have been built as a Conoco station. [map]

former station [gone]
Bridgeview, IL
This former station appears to have been vacant for many years. This photo is from 2010. The building was still vacant in 2014. By 2017, the building was gone. Does anyone know when this building was built or anything else about it?
