The former Sinclair service station has been meticulously restored and now houses an historical museum. The station was built in 1924 in the Mission Revival style and has a flat roof, and a band of green tile faux roof above the bays. There are two bays, which have been converted to segmented windows. The gas pump area was located under a porte chochere. The building has a stucco finish, and has green trim, including a green tile water table. The entrance has a single door, flanked by an 8-pane sidelight and display window. The clerestory is still visible.

The station has been occupied by Three Valley museum, operated by the Durant Historical Society since 1976. The building is open Tues-Thurs from 1-5 and Saturday from 11-3. This property is Item 27 on the District nomination.
