Illinois Gas Stations

(hit "refresh" to get the most recent version of this page; click on photos for larger images)

former station
Champaign, IL
This former station appears to be from the 1920s. It has been vacant and endangered for years.

Berta's Garage
Seneca, IL
Berta's Garage was built in 1934. It was a Mobilgas station in 1945 but I don't know what brand was sold here originally. It may have been a Phillips 66 station at one time. Does anyone know more about this place?

former station
Blue Island, IL
This former station still retains its slate roof. The doorways probably had rustic stonework around them originally. The bay building was obviously added later.

former station
Chicago, IL
This former station appears to have been vacant for many years. This photo is from 2010. Does anyone know anything about it?

former station
Chicago, IL
This former station now houses Augusta & Paulina Auto Repair.

former station
Collinsville, IL
The former station was built between 1927 and 1930. The adjoining building with service bays was built in the 1930s and has sliding doors that move from side to side. This station became home to Eck Auto Service in 1958. The window canopies, pointed windows on the garage doors, etc. are all original. While many people, including the owner, have identified this as a Phillips 66, this was not one of that company's designs. It was probably built by a local oil company and may have been a Phillips 66 later on.

Freeport, IL		 former Phillips 66 Station
Oak Park, IL
This former Phillips 66 Station in Freeport now houses Toni's Plumbing Service.

This Oak Park building appears to be a Phillips 66 Station. It now houses the "J&S Foreign Car" service garage.

former Phillips 66 Station
Aurora, IL
This former Phillips 66 Station now houses the Shine On car wash.

former Phillips 66 Station
West Frankfort, IL
This looks like a former Phillips 66 Station or was at least built to look like one. The partial stonework must have been added later. It appeared to be vacant when these photos were taken in 2010.

former Phillips 66 Station
Carlyle, IL
This former Phillips 66 Station now houses The Pit BBQ.

former Phillips 66 Station
Decatur, IL		 former station
Algonquin, IL
This former Phillips 66 Station serves as the office for Wayne's Used Cars.

This former Algonquin station looks somewhat similar to a Phillips 66 but I don't believe it ever was. It is now home to Kings Motor Sales.

former station
Jonesboro, IL		 former station
Jonesboro, IL
The former station on the left above appeared to be vacant when this photo was taken in 2010.

The former station on the right was either built as a Phillips 66 station or built to resemble one.

former station
Geneva, IL		 former station
Anna, IL
This former station in Geneva was built in the 1920s or 1930s. It has been home to Architectural Resources since the late 1980s. It bears some resemblance to Phillips 66 stations but the gable is too wide and I don't think that's what it was. Does anyone know more about this building?

The former station in Anna was being used for furniture sales when this photo was taken in 2010.

former Texaco station
Springfield, IL
This former Texaco station was built in the 1930s. It recently housed the Just Off Route 66 Diner which featured sandwiches, souvenirs, and gas station memorabilia. It has been closed since at least 2006.

Bill Shea's Gas Station Museum
Springfield, IL
Bill Shea's Gas Station Museum includes a former Marathon station, a former Mahan's station (one of the oldest stations in IL), old signs, pumps, Route 66 artifacts, etc. For more, see this website.
