Over the years, it has been suggested that this was a Phillips 66 or a Pure Oil filling station. I tend to believe it was Pure Oil, but cannot confirm. The Tudor Revival style was used by several petroleum retailers during the golden age of roadside travel in the 1930s and 1940s, including Phillips 66 and Pure Oil. This building has obviously been modified, and likely has had a chimney removed. I assigned it a date circa 1940 as an average, since the style was popular in the 1930s and 1940s.
I believe that’s a Phillips 66 cottage station, based on the design….most (if not all) Pure Oil stations had chimneys on the ends.
Thanks…will change the title to reflect.
There is a structure that is identical to this one in Longview, Texas on U. S. 80 and I was told that Pure Oil owned it too.
It once was a Pure Oil station, best I recall.
Thanks, Erbie…
Brian! I was in Glennville this weekend for an uncle’s funeral, and spent some time at Shellman’s Bluff fishing. At the funeral I was talking to my cousin Paulette Weaver and learned that she knows you, and that you live in Long County. Small world! The weather while I was in South Georgia was absolutely and I had a great visit, even if it did include a funeral. I love your work!
Thanks as always, Erbie!
