This former service station is Contributing Building No. 19 within the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form and part of the Union Creek Historic District, officially registered in 1980.

The Nomination Form says the following in regards to this contributing building:

19. Union Creek Service Station: 1924. Rectangular, 1-1/2 story structure, remodeled in 1933 to include a porch extending over the service area, and a modification of the roof design, the service station has a hipped gable roof, with wood shake exterior, multi-light sash windows, and ca. 1936, the addition of uncoursed lava rock to the 4-foot level on all elevations. In 1977, the service area porch was removed, and the east gable facade significantly altered by the replacement of sash windows with aluminum casements, and the addition of "Swiss-alpine" decor.

This former service station is now an ice cream shop, serving Umpqua Ice Cream. The island pumps have been removed and the concrete island pad has been converted into a planter with flowers.
