former station
Atlantic City, NJ |

 |
|
The former Freehold station now houses the Green Blade repair shop. It may have been an Esso station. It was probably built in the 1920s or 1930s.
I have no information about this former Atlantic City station. It looks like it's been vacant for many years.

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 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 station
Paramus, NJ |
 |

|
This former station was built in the 1930s. It was a Sunoco at one point but I'm not sure if that was the original brand of gas sold here. In 2003, the building was covered with vinyl siding by its new occupant, Dollar Rent a Car. By 2011, when these photos were taken, the building was vacant with signs from the previous tenant, Chakra restaurant.
