Carlin's Amoco Station is a historic Amoco service station located at Roanoke, Virginia. It was built about 1947, and remodeled about 1953 in the Streamline Moderne style. The one-story gas station is constructed of concrete block covered with stucco and sits on a concrete slab foundation. Also on the property is an associated repair shop constructed about 1947.[3]
Built on Williamson Road in Roanoke, the gas station was a scene of Muscle car drag racing and Cruising (driving) by the local teenagers in the post-war years between 1947 and 1962.[4]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[1]
