[This is a set of 9 photos] This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work
The former Piedmont Service Station in Chase City, Mecklenburg Couunty, Virginia is a classic structure with the Gulf orange and cobalt blue colors. The pull through area (port cochere) is expansive and covers a large area, including an asymmetrical wall pattern which matches the interesting angles of the covered area. The station dates from about 1925. It has been well-preserved, down to the decorfative pressed tin ceiling of the covered area (see images 8 and 9). A mechanic's bay is located on the left part of the building. The Gulf sign is complete with bullet holes. This must have been a prime location, occupying a corner lot. It's not in operation today. Is is a contributing structure in the Chase City Warehouse and Commercial Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places 12/11/2020 with reference number 100005923.
