This Sinclair station was built in 1922 and has always been a Sinclair station. I have not seen stepped brickwork along the roofline on a Sinclair before. This station still sells gas and offers repairs.

The first Sinclair station shown above features a residence above. Very often, these combination station/houses featured a cafe on the ground floor. I don't know if that was the case here.
The second Sinclair station above has a painted sign on the window for Salisbury Super Service Oil Company. However, it appears that this building has been vacant for years.

former station
Maryville, MO |
 |
 |
|
The former station in Ava appeared to be vacant when this photo was taken in 2010. I don't know if the stonework is original.
The former station in Maryville is also known as the Austin Spoor station. It was built as a Shell station and later served as a Texaco and Skelly station. The station closed in 1985. In 1994, Archer Auto Sales purchased the station and moved it to their property. According to their website, the station was built in 1935. However, "since 1921" is painted on the building so I don't know which date is correct. For more, see this website.
