This painting represents an architecturally ornate Gulf Oil gas station with two pumps standing on the street in front of the building and Gulf Oil logos on the facade. The building stands at a spot where two streets meet. Behind the building is blue sky, a gas holder in the upper left corner, and the Birmingham city skyline in the upper right corner. In the foreground is a tree, power poles, and a car. The streets in front of the gas station are lined with streetcar tracks.
