Mount Royal and McMechen Streets – In Baltimore City. This is where I believe this old Goodyear Station was located for years.
Out of all the building styles we have listed on Kilduff’s, the old gas Stations are perhaps the hardest to locate. Buildings are rebuilt, old gas stations torn down as the real estate they are old is reused for redevelopment. What still stands can often just be a shell of the old building it once was, but if Kilduff’s spots it, expect it to show up here.
Reus service station was located years ago on the northern corner of the Lyric Theatre. The station was there for years, and has since been torn down.
An old gas station out in Western Maryland, in the Cumberland Area.
The old Kilduffs.com site had a page for ” Baltimore gas Stations”, but here on Kilduffs.Net were are going to try to combine both on one page. Hold tight and here it comes.
In the early automotive days of Maryland, roads were beginning to spring up as people were eager to take their automobiles whenever they could. Baltimore had the Maryland Auto Club, which back in the days would suggest routes soyou would not get stuck in sections that were not friendly to the traveling public 9 is Roads, lack of gas stations, etc ).
The opening of a new gas station in Baltimore back in the 1920’s was worthy of a large ad in the local ( Baltimore Sun ) paper. I found one article that stated that after a while , there was a new gas station located on nearly every corner in the City.
This old 1920’s Gas station in South Baltimore no longer stands, as many of the old stations we found references to. Often the small service stations were torn down to make way for bigger stations which in later years tend to serve more chips and sodas than gas.
Lord Baltimore Stations served Amoco Gas back in the day .In the 1920’s into the 1940’s, as the Lord Baltimore Chain added locations, they placed ads in the paper of each new location.
In 1924 , this old ( new back then ) Lord Baltimore Station opened on Washington Blvd.
In later years , photographs were used in ads of the 1930’s. In the 1920’s and early 1930’s , detailed drawings were posted that showed just how neat these old stations were.
There are no more gas stations operating along Fremont Avenue in Baltimore City. It’s all rowhouses these days.
This Lord Baltimore Station stood along Russell Street, in South Baltimore.
Another old gas station along Pennsylvania Avenue at the intersection of Retreat Street. There is no gas station at that corner today. which is about two blocks North of North Avenue.
