Old Gas Stations—The Recycled, The Vacant, The Falling Apart

In my meanderings around the US I have sought out old gas stations.  Many are

Pizza shops are a popular reuse of old gas stations.

being used by other businesses–auto repair is a popular repurposing, but they run the gamut from thrift stores to funeral homes.  Others are vacant but still reusable.  And some are just plain falling apart.

Each was once a place where our automobile culture stopped for its fossil-fuel fix, maybe just a few years ago or maybe decades ago.  They are all over the place, easy to spot once one starts looking.  Just look for the overhang, the columns and evidence of the concrete pump ‘island.’

This vine-draped sign stands forlornly alone along rural US 11 near the Susquahanna River south of Berwick, PA.  It is all that is left of the gas station it once marked.

I have found several really old structures—they are the small, one-story postage-stamp buildings with overhang and two columns—and a lot of more ‘modern’ ones.  I know that if I had started doing this decades earlier I would be seeing many more of the classic ones.  Road widenings have eliminated many and others have been lost to commercial development in even the smallest towns.

I can almost feel the ghosts of old gas stations under the McDonalds, Ruby Tuesdays and Quality Inns as I travel the back roads, now often four lanes.  The place to ferret out the gems is usually the old two-lanes, the older sections of small towns, and the ignored sections on the ‘wrong’ side of town.  If the big money isn’t there for development, the old buildings get reused, that’s the reality.

Here are some of my favorites.  I hope you enjoy them.  (All photos by Ron Haines, all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted)
