NRHP Nomination Form"Located at the intersection of Northwest 14th and North Main streets, this small rectangular one-story building is sited at an angle to take advantage of its corner location. An early example of a corporate designed gas station, it is constructed of brick with alterations done in concrete block. The original configuration consisted of a small office area with a projecting porte-cochere that allowed automobiles to drive under it for service. The porte-cochere was supported by brick columns that are still extant. The building features shaped parapets with circular panels that once framed the corporate logo. Below the parapet is a tiled visor roof. In approximately 1943, the porte-cochere was enclosed with concrete block and a storefront added to the front elevation. The original multiple-light transom appears to be intact, but the lower part of the storefront has been altered with the introduction of a double door entrance and fixed windows. Two window openings on the southeast elevation are infilled with brick."
