This station was built in the late 1930s by the Quality Oil Company, a Winston-based marketer of Shell Oil. This station is located on Sprague Street and was restored by a state historic society, Preservation North Carolina, in the late 1990s. Today it's used by the organization as a regional office and info center about the station and other preservation projects.

We made a special detour to see this station on our way home from Columbus, Ohio, to Jacksonville, Florida, via Jacksonville, North Carolina, after reading about it on the internet (visit link). It was well worth the extra travel time!
