Both of these stations were probably built in the 1920s.

| former station [gone] Courtland, VA |
|
 |
 |
| This former station was built in 1936. I don't know what it was originally but it was a Gulf station and then a Chevron station in later years. The unique, interlocking units were vacant and the pumps had been removed. The smallest "house" at the left was used for the men's and women's restrooms. Soon after these photos were taken in 2005, the station was badly damaged in an accident and demolished. |

There was also a small, round tile-roofed structure which is gone now. The building had housed Moore's Auto Body & Paint Shop since 1949. By 2016, the building was vacant. It was still vacant in 2021 and painted entirely white except for the red tile roof. [map] |

| The Kellogg Building was built in the 1920s as a DeSoto car dealership. The dealership was also selling Pure Oil gas by the 1960s in the smaller building at the left, aka Spady's Service Station. In the 1980s, it was a Union 76 station. The building has been vacant for many years. Restoration of the building began in 2022. [map] |

former station Richmond, VA |

| former station? Lakeside, VA |
 |
 |
 |
| This building might have been a former station. It appeared to be a closed boat sales and repair shop in 2010 when these photos were taken. I'm told that it housed the Copa restaurant around the 1920s or 1930s. Does anyone know more about this building? Since 2012, the building has at least a couple of used car dealerships. [map] |
