The buildings have Tudor Revival design influences, including half-timbering and rough-faced stucco finish. The service station is a 1+1⁄2-story, T-shaped building with a steeply pitched cross gable roof. It is linked to the office by a one-story breezeway.[2]

This property is also referred to as Icabod's Plaza or Icabod's News.[3][4]
