The Gulf Oil Company Service Station is a former automotive service station at Main and South Third Streets in Paragould, Arkansas. Built in 1926, it is a single-story brick building, with a canopied area similar to a porte-cochere supported by brick columns. The building has stylistic elements giving it a vague Mediterranean appearance, including an entablature with egg-and-dart molding beneath a metal cornice and parapet. It is divided functionally into four rooms: an office, two restrooms, and a tool storage area. The building was used as a service station until 1969.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994,^[1] at which time it was vacant; its owner since the 1940s refused offers to repurpose the building, preferring to keep it in pristine condition.^[2]
