Constructed in 1937, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

[1] The station was designed in 1936 by Gulf Oil Corporation's architect P. L. R. Hogner as part of a company drive to create buildings that looked less like gas stations and more like banks and libraries in their details, materials, and massing.

The final design called for a small building of grey stone similar in color to the church opposite the station; whether or not the two buildings harmonized by design is unknown.

The Embassy Gulf Service Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 1993.

It is still used for its original purpose; as of 2007[update], the building serves as a repair shop and Sunoco station.
