This station could have been the first built in Craig, around 1917. It stood on the northeast corner of West Victory Way and Breeze Street. Harry Hansen ran this Conoco station for many years until he sold it in 1948. It was torn down shortly after. Today, the site is home to the Elks Lodge.

The first Texaco station on the northeast corner of East Victory Way and Yampa Avenue was built in the late 1920s. The structure of one of its replacement stations still is in use today as the new Christian School at that same location.

This one-pump station was located on the southeast corner of West Victory Way and Breeze Street. The City Garage site later would be the home of the Ferguson Douglas garage, which was torn down a number of years ago. Today, the site is a vacant lot.

The small brick station on the southeast corner of East Victory Way and Yampa Avenue was built in the summer of 1921. It was torn down in 1931 to make way for its modern replacement, which was torn down more than 30 years ago. Today, the site is a parking lot. The event taking place in the intersection in this 1926 photograph was the dedication to mark the completion of the new Texaco refinery located just west of Craig.
