Demolished during Urban Renewal
The original service station building is a one-story rectangular block with a brick-faced base and stucco above, capped with a flat roof. The plate-glass windows are rectilinear and unadorned. The entries are surmounted by transoms now enclosed. The more recent two-door garage was constructed of concrete blocks and has a flat roof.
The original service station building was constructed in 1920 by the Collins Oil Co. for $1,000. The garage was built in 1952 for $3,000. The service station is an amenity for the area and the immediate access for the interstate highway ramp; however, architecturally, this station is a non-contributing member of this historic 19th-century wholesale and commercial area south of the central business district.
