Pure Oil developed a cheap, attractive design in the Tudor Revival style that fit the suburban aesthetic ideal.

Carl August Petersen, the Chief Engineer of Marketing Construction for Pure Oil, was responsible for the design which was replicated all over the country.

The building has a steeply pitched gable roof covered with blue glazed Ludowici tile.

Two of these chimneys have a large metal letter "P", painted white, a Pure Oil emblem.
