The Texaco Station No. 1 is a historic automotive service station at 110 East Main Street in Paragould, Arkansas. Built in 1925, it is a Mission-style brick building with a canopy extending to cover the service area. It is one of only two surviving early gas stations in the city, and was used as a service station until about 1970, going through a number of ownership and fuel supplier changes. In 1985 it was converted into the Hamburger Station, a restaurant.[2]

The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]
