Marathon Oil Service Station
The Marathon Oil Service Station is a historic automotive service facility at the southeast corner of East 2nd and Spring Streets in downtown Fordyce, Arkansas. It is a single story building constructed out of red and buff brick, with an auto canopy covered in a tile roof. The main facade of the building has a parapet which conceals a barrel roof. The building is divided into two functional bays, an office to the left and a garage bay to the right. The canopy extends in front of the left bay, and is supported by a single brick column, in which there is an original Marathon Oil logo. The building is a well-preserved example of a 1920s service station.[2]
