This former Logansport station was originally a Texaco. It was later a Sinclair. It is now known as Mike's Auto Service and sells Marathon gas. The tile roof was replaced with a metal one in 2009 before these photos were taken. Disney World took measurements of this station in order to build a replica but I have not come across any photos of it. For more, see this website.
This former Terre Haute station was built in 1931. It was originally downtown and was saved by a preservation-minded professor at Rose-Hulman University. It was moved, restored, and is now used at the university's athletic fields as a concession stand and bathrooms.

This former Fort Wayne station is located on the back of the lot of the former Happy Humpty Drive-in (later Humpty Dumpty Drive-in). I don't know if this building was used by the drive-in or if there was another building here that was demolished.
This former Evansville station is quite similar to the one on the left. This was a common design in the 1920s and 1930s, used nationwide. I'm told that this one was originally an Indian Oil station and, later, a Texaco station.

This Indianapolis building looks like it might be a former station to me. Does anyone know the history of this place?

former Conoco station
Princeton, IN |

This former Conoco station is now occupied by an Enterprise Rent-A-Car office. The station would have originally had a second canopy on the left side. The original green tile on the exterior has either been covered up or removed. However, the green and black tile inside the curved bay is still there. For more examples of these stations, see the bottom of this page.
