former Marathon Oil Service Station
Fordyce, AR |
 |
The former Marathon Oil Service Station hasn't sold gas since the late 1970s or early 1980s but it still functions as a garage. It was built around 1928 and was also known as the Lion Oil Service Station. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The canopy structure very much resembles a late 1920s Richfield station.

This former station appears to be a law office now. I'm 99% certain that this was a Sinclair station. I have seen photos from the 1930s of stations that look identical to this one. On all three sides of the canopy would have been the big block lettered SINCLAIR sign.

This former Mena station, now LP Rosenbaum/Southern Auto Service, looks to be of the same design as the Warren station shown above. It was also probably originally a Sinclair station.
