Description

Photograph of the Gulf Service Station in Woodstock Virginia.

Advertisements for “Gulf Tires” and “Gulfpride” fuel are visible.

Owner of the station Bernard Borden appears in front of the building near the door. An unidentified man stands under the vehicle lift.

The station was located on the west side of US Route 11 in the 100 block of N. Main Street. As of 2022, the site was the home of a gazebo in front of the Woodstock Town Office.

This structure was originally constructed by Bernard Borden in the 1930s.

It closed ca. 1960 and became the home of the Woodstock Police Department until being razed.
