former station
Reno, NV |
 |
 |
|
This former station was built around 1914. It was restored in 2001 by David Rocovits. The sign identifies it as the Borgward Garage, a reference to Rocovits' passion for Borgwald automobiles. One source refers to this building as the "West 2nd Street Filling Station" which makes me wonder if this structure was relocated. However, I'm told that this station has been here at 1st and Winter Streets since at least 1972. The pumps were replicas. Although the globes on top of the pumps advertised for Chevron and Mobil, I don't know if this station ever sold either of those brands. The pumps are gone now. [map]

In the 1950s, this former station in Ely was known as Miller Service and operated as a Shell station. It was located next door to the Miller Motel. By the 1960s, it was operating as a Phillips 66 station. It was operating as a Union 76 station in the 1990s. The pumps are gone now and the building houses a liquor store.

This former station in Hawthorne had been abandoned since at least 2007. The pumps had already been removed by then. This may have been a Wilshire station originally. The canopy was gone by 2021.
