Little's Esso Service Station - Yanceyville, North Carolina Was located on the south side of East Main Street  and was also  primarily  an African American area of businesses and private residences. 

It ran from the corner of what now is Dillard School Drive and East Main Street to the Square. 

They began operation in the 1920s as a Standard agency, purchasing its gasoline from Standard Oil of New Jersey. When the photograph was taken the building was fairly new.  

Around 1928 the brand had become Esso. The father of Martha Louise Lea Little, Thomas Sidney Lea (1873-1963), provided financial support for local Black educational efforts, including participating in the purchase of a building in 1906 that was used as the first Black school in Yanceyville.

Both photographs are undated and were provided by Helen Haith Little.
