The 1929 Service Station provided gasoline and basic services to park visitors.
The front half of the building is a drive-through covered bay with supports on the gas island, with an office in the other half behind, the whole crowned by a steeply-pitched attic.
Stone-faced concrete extends from grade level to sill level.
The frame wall above is clad with log slab siding, while the roof is clad with cedar shingles.
A small apartment is housed in the attic, accessible by an exterior stairway.

The Longmire Buildings form a part of the Longmire Historic District, which is itself within the Mount Rainier National Park National Historic Landmark District, comprising the entire park.

The Administration Building and Service Station are close together near the road, while the Community Building is across the Nisqually River.
The construction of all three was supervised by Ernest A. Davidson, a Park Service landscape architect assigned to Mount Rainier.
Vint chose to feature the Community Building and the Administration Building in his 1938 Park and Recreation Structures publications, an influential series of three volumes devoted to rustic park structures that influenced state and national park design through the 1930s.
The Service Station stands as an almost unique example of rustic architecture for that building type.
