Antique Gas Pumps in Alderson

Slowly but surely the old Gulf Gas Station, built in 1955 by Harry Meredith to replace his old one across the highway, is regaining some of its former appearance. On July 2 and 3, two period gas pumps were installed in front of the station. The restoration is sponsored by Alderson Main Street with the help of grants from the WV Division of Highway’s Transportation Alternatives Grant Program.

Beautifully restored and installed by Bob Elam, the pumps are set to reflect the gas prices of the day – 21 cents per gallon for regular and 27 cents per gallon for high test!

Jim Meredith, son of the builder and visiting during the July 4th parade, said of Alderson Main Street, “You all have done a great job with this place.”

Several visitors noted that they would come to the station to get a quarter’s worth of gas and that would allow them to run around all weekend. Others said, “I used to pump gas at that station.”

Now it’s a visitor’s center for the Town of Alderson and called the Greenbrier River Interpretive Center (GRIC). Alderson Main Street President Betty Thomas said, “We hope to keep it open more after the first of September when we begin a partnership with Friends of the Lower Greenbrier River. For now, it is partially open on Saturday mornings in conjunction with the Alderson Community Market which is held in the parking lot.”
