It is a former Phillips 66 gas station, and it included a drugstore and soda fountain. In 2004 there were stock pens nearby, and the population of Kenna was 14.[3]

The service station, built in 1938, consists of two buildings. The main one has a 33 feet (10 m) girder-supported canopy over gas pump islands. It has a stepped brick parapet above the canopy. As of 2004, it hosted a store area and a leased post office; the latter space was formerly the Kenna Bank & Trust Company and still includes a bank vault with a Mosler Safe Co. safe.[3]

The second structure is a car repair garage with two wood and glass roll up doors, which is set back on the property.[3]
