A rainy, off-the-interstate ride through northwestern Virginia this month yielded a pair of really nice old recycled gas stations.
The first, a nice stone classic with a terrific side porch, was in Harrisonburg, VA. It’s now the Guest Station of the Melrose Caverns attraction.
The second is home to Valley Garage Doors in Staunton, VA. It’s a great building to showcase the product.

Some unusual finds! Regards from the sunny northÂ

Yes. Wouldn’t that stone one be a lovely place to live?

Agree! Those two are real beauties. So I’m curious… Where do these rank among your all-time favorites? Top 10? Top 5? Where?

The stone one would be in top five for sure. Here are some interior pix of it: https://www.melrosecaverns.com/gueststation. The other one further down because it’s just a simple box style, not much to get excited about.
