former Skelly station Lawrence, KS |
|
This former Skelly station was built in 1930 and is now occupied by the Gaslight Tavern & Coffee House. The diamond windows would have had painted glass Skelly signs that were lit from behind like the ones at the Lebo station shown below. For some Skelly stations in Missouri, see this page. [map] |

former station Wichita, KS |

2010:/td> | 2023: | ||
This former station was known as the Riverside Service Station in the late 1930s. I don't know what brand was sold here originally but this was a Golden Rule station in its later years. The building was used as a beauty shop for a number of years before becoming an ice cream shop. When these photos were taken in 2010, the building housed the Bierock Restaurant. By 2012, the building had been repainted and housed Squeezer's Palace. By 2015, the building had been painted green and was housing Chiquita's Corner. The building began housing Cool Breeze Pizza in 2020. In 2023, just after these photos were taken, it began housing Nacho Mama's. [map] |

This former station was built in the 1930s and housed a restaurant before 2014. Around 2020, the addition was removed, the building was restored, while signs and pumps were added. As the Red Crown Inn, the building is used as a one-room hotel. [map] |

This former station in Atwood has a Derby sign on the lot. However, I don't know if that was the brand sold here originally. This building is now occupied by the Grooming Station. [map] |

This former station has been vacant for many years. [map] |
former station [gone] Kanorado, KS |
|
This former station in Kanorado may have been a Gulf station originally. Faded signage indicates it was a Conoco in later years. These photos are from 2010. By 2012, the building's tower was removed. By 2021, the building had been demolished. |

2023: | |
This former station now houses the M&K Car Wash. It was probably built in the 1930s or so. This canopy is obviously a much later addition. By 2015, the roof tiles had been replaced with flat tiles. [map] |
former station Hugoton, KS |
This former station was built in 1923. It was originally installed elsewhere in Hugoton and moved to the Hugoton Gas and Historical Museum in 1998. There is a Conoco sign next to it but this station was never a Conoco. It was a Fina station at some point. [map] |
former station Emporia, KS |
|
This former station was probably built in the 1920s. It housed the Duchess Drive-in in the 1960s and the Stagecoach Deli after that. The building has housed J's Carry Out since 1987. [map] |
