On the southwest corner of W. 6th Street and S. Main, this is a one-story brick station with a brick canopy service bay on the north end, and an office and shop area on the south.
The building has a raised and stepped parapet decorated with tan brick. Over the service bay, light colored brick reads "1927" and over the south end of the building is the name "J.R. Peet". A man named Jenness Roy "Shorty" Peet (11/20/1883 - 11/4/1970) is buried in nearby Carnegie Cemetery. The obituary indicates he owned a furniture store for many years, but his dates fit the 1927 construction date of this building, so perhaps he is the "J.R. Peet" shown on this building, and is associated with it.
Today the building appears to have a small office in it with APCO Total Petroleum signs in the window.
