Cliff's
Cliff's (2,800 square feet)
8427 George Washington Memorial Highway, Yorktown, VA
This service station was built in 1951 (the four end garages were later additions); while I haven't figured out who originally owned the station and what brand of gas was provided, I do know that it was known as Cliff's Edgehill Gulf in the 1960s and later had Union 76 gas before switching to Citgo in the 1990s. When Hurricane Isabel came through the area on September 18th, 2003, it brought down Citgo's canopy completely! The station continued to sell gas without it until at least 2007.
Currently it serves as a very popular state inspection station in the area. The crew that inspects here must have a good, honest reputation because they get super slammed at the end of the month, with cars lining up in the parking lot and spilling onto the highway!
