The Gillespie Drilling Company Building was placed on the National Register in 2012. It is a very unusual building, constructed like a large teepee, and making use of oilfield drilling pipe. On the north side of the building are two sculptures which are listed as contributing items to this listing.

The two sculptures are similar. They are designed from oil drilling pipe and leftover angular pieces of metal. They create a diamond pattern that extends from the ground to the same height as the nearby carport. The sculpture on the west has a sequence of four diamond patterns. The sculpture on the east has three diamond shapes, with mesh grating in between.
