Description
The Fayetteville Esso Station is a historic service station located at 145 South Court Street in Fayetteville, West Virginia. The structure sits just outside the boundary of the Fayetteville Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in an area characterized by mixed commercial and residential development. Fayetteville serves as the county seat of Fayette County in the coalfields of southern West Virginia.[2]
The northwest-facing building occupies the rear northeast corner of its lot, which fronts West Virginia Route 16. The property features a concrete-surfaced parking area and is bordered on three sides by a concrete retaining wall of varying heights. Along the north and west elevations, this retaining wall serves a dual purpose as the building's foundation wall.[3]
