The Samuel P. Taylor Service Station is a historic commercial building at 1123 West 3rd Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. Built in 1938, it is an excellent example of a period automotive filling station with Art Deco styling. It is a single-story L-shaped structure, with three service bays set at different angles, and an office in front. A zigzag pattern of black tiles extends across the building's cornice, and black tile is used prominently around the main entrance and below the office windows.^[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.^[1]
