It is "an example of a 'house' type of station, designed in the Bungalow/Craftsman style of architecture."[3]
Its original c.1915 gas pumps had glass globes on top so that the amount of gasoline to be dispensed could be determined, but those were replaced by two c.1940 pumps.[3]
During the Jim Crow era, the Threatt Filling Station provided a place where black travelers, limited by laws restricting travel and accommodations, could stop, shop, and park for the night or just rest while traveling.[4][5]
