The Spearfish Filling Station, located at 706 Main St. in Spearfish, South Dakota, was built in 1923. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

It is a one-story building with five bays: an angled office bay, a shop bay, and three car service bays. It was built by Alfred J. Sheep, a rancher and businessman, as the first gas station in the community, with the service bays added in 1927. Sheep operated the station until his death in 1957.[2]
