former W.B. Cheek Gulf station
Hillsboro, TX |
 |
 |
|
The former W.B. Cheek Gulf station was built in the 1940s. The building was restored in 2003. These photos are from 2011. By 2011, the pumps and the Gulf signs on the building were gone. The Gulf pole sign was still there and the building was housing Lopez Tire Company. By 2017, the pole sign was gone. The building looked vacant in 2018. In 2023, different pumps were installed and the interior of the station had lots of Gulf items. A sign in the window reads "the Old Corner Gulf." [map]
