The Marathon Oil Station is located on the 1926 alignment in Dwight at 417 W. Wauponsie St. on the northwest corner of the intersection of Wauponsie St. and Mazon Ave.

The station was at a time a Texaco station, and hence is also known as the Ambler-Becker Texaco station.

Plans are underway to convert it to a museum/visitor center, but in 2004 it was still operating as a service station.
