Early 1910s American gas stations were simple, newly emerging fuel stops that evolved from earlier curbside sales. Purpose‑built stations began appearing after 1907, often offering gasoline from basic pumps or even gravity‑fed hoses. By 1913, companies like Gulf Refining introduced architect‑designed “service stations” with canopies, multiple pumps, and customer amenities, marking the transition from improvised fuel sales to organized roadside service.
