The station was one of the westernmost in Oklahoma and became one of the first stops for eastbound travelers to buy gas and auto services in the state.

[2][3] The service station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1995.

[1] The station opened in 1930, first owned by Albert Hutto, who later sold it to Frank Skinner.

The structure was originally built with just the central block building, with the canopy and side garage added on later.

As of 2019[update], the side garage had been completely removed after being damaged for many years, the canopy has partially collapsed, and the interior is also in extremely poor condition.
