Deerfield Texaco Service Station

105 W. 6th
Deerfield (Kearny County)
Listed in National Register 6/27/2007

Architect: Not listed
Category: vacant/not in use; transportation; commerce

The Service Oil Company, owned by area residents John Campbell and James Doyle, opened the Deerfield Texaco Service Station in 1923. The station opened at a time when petroleum companies were expanding their service to include secondary products such as oil, tires, and mechanical assistance. This station was a "Texaco Registered Restroom." By advertising their clean restrooms with a sign out front, registered stations hoped to attract a broader clientele - including women - in order to sell products other than petroleum. It is nominated for its association with commerce and transportation, and for its architectural representation of a Tudor Revival-style Service Station.
