Teapot Dome Service Station
Zillah, WA | 176 Miles

Inspired by the Teapot Dome political bribery scandal of 1922, the former gas station was constructed in Zillah, Washington in 1922 by Jack Ainsworth to resemble a giant teapot. It was preserved and moved one mile from its original location to the present site in 1978 due to the construction of an interstate highway.
Still considered a game-changing example of novelty architecture, the Teapot Dome Service Station serves as a winking reminder that history never forgets.
