The Twin Towers Service Station was built in 1929. Way back when, it sold Flying A and later Esso gas. It is now an Exxon station.

Freehold, NJ |
former station
Atlantic City, NJ |
 |
 |
The former Freehold station now houses the Green Blade repair shop. My guess would be that this building is from the 1930s.
I have no information about this former Atlantic City station. It looks like it's been closed for many years.

When these photos were taken in 2004, this former South Amboy station was vacant and the gas pumps were gone. It was last known as Massing's Gulf and was previously an Esso station. The building has since been demolished.

In 2004, this former Red Bank station was stucco-ed up and recycled into a Lighthouse italian ice stand. Before this incarnation, it was a car rental place. For more, see their website.

Delta Station
Summit, NJ |
former station?
Tuckerton, NJ |
 |
 |
This Summit Station appears to be from the 1920s or 1930s. It is still in use as a gas station and service garage. In 2003, it was a Getty station. I don't know what brand was sold here originally.
This Tuckerton building appears to have been a gas station at one time. It has been significantly altered and is now tucked behind the B&B Produce stand.

Trenton, NJ |
 |
 |
This Trenton station is now strictly a repair business. They haven't sold gas in at least 30 years and the owner knows nothing of the place's history.
|
former Sunoco station
Paramus, NJ |
 |
This former Sunoco station was built in the 1930s. The building is 17' wide x 13' deep. In 2003, it was "completely renovated" (at least with sensitive vinyl siding) by its new occupant, Dollar Rent a Car. The odd lopped-off roof corners (both ends) was not done but Dollar but I don't know if it is original. In its last days as a gas station, it was painted tan, yellow and blue.

former Hoenes Service Station
Absecon, NJ |
 |
 |
The former Hoenes Service Station has housed the Gilchrist Offshore Restaurant since 2007. It was previously a Mobil station but I don't know if that was the original brand. The building shown in the third photo is located next to the office building. I assume it was used for service bays originally.
