The picturesque but small station on Old Shell Road between Kenneth and Florida streets had been closed for some time, superseded by a new and significantly larger facility nearby in the Crichton area. The sale price, in a contract submitted by the administration of Mayor Sandy Stimpson, was $368,850. The station was built in 1930. According to information provided by Isakson, its architecture has been described by some an “English Cottage Style with Spanish Colonial elements" and by others as "Colonial Revival embracing Picturesque, Tudor, and Cottage elements with Spanish effect.”
