Located in the Historical Downtown Dalton Revitalization Area, The Filling Station occupies a completely renovated turn-of-the-century gasoline station. Long a fixture of North Hamilton Street, this station served the motoring needs of the public from around 1910 until the late 1980's. Under various names and offering many different brands of petroleum products over the years, the building personified the growth of the motoring service industry. From its early days as Dalton's first auto rental agency and through the bustling pre-war era of motoring, through the post-war boom in transportation, this same old facility flourished under many names and owners. Fallen on hard times due to inaccessible location and limited growth options as more modern stations sprang up in more convenient locations, the building since has served as a tire store, a warehouse, a sign painter's shop, and various other temporary uses. Now restored to a glory never experienced in any of its former lives, The Filling Station is open to serve the dining needs of Dalton's revitalized downtown and those looking to enjoy food with a taste of nostalgia thrown in.
