At the north end of S. Main Street in this town of about 650 residents, this station is one of the classic buildings, with an angled front, facing the corner of the intersection. This is a one-story brick building, which has been painted.
The service drive has a canopy roof covered with metal siding and supported by brick columns. There are one wood door and three display windows under the canopy. The gas pump island has been converted into a planter. The building has a flat roof with a metal sided Mansard trim. South of the service drive is a small storefront with two doors and a small window. It is addressed 104 S. Main and had been occupied by the Hair Station salon, but appears to be vacant at this time.
The north wall of this building is long and has two overhead doors leading into the original service shop. Windows and doors have been boarded up. In speaking with a local resident, she indicated that this was a Mobil station and was still active in the 1970s, and maybe a little after that.
