Historic John Osterman Gas Station. . This property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 2012. The John Osterman Gas Station was one of several privately-owned and operated businesses in the town of Peach Springs during the 1920's through the 1950's. The building, constructed by Osterman in 1923 was a vernacular design of poured concrete block and built in the tradition of the "House with Bays" form.

The design, in addition to allowing the sale of gasoline and other automotive products, is indicative of the large amount of repair work undertook over the years.
