Zillah, Washington -
Teapot Dome Gas Station

RoadsideAmerica.com Team Field Report

Built in the 1920s as a political statement. It looks like a teapot, to remind travelers of corruption in the Warren Harding White House. This was always an oblique message, and it's unlikely that modern motorists see anything in it other than a big teapot.

Directions:
I-82 South from Yakima to Exit 54. Cross over the freeway heading west. On SW side of frontage road. (move downtown planned)

In an article in this week's Yakima Herald, Zillah got a grant to fund the move of the Teapot Dome Gas Station from the highway, where it is currently located, to a park setting next to the senior center in town.

No schedule yet on when this will start. [Eldon W, 11/07/2010]

Teapot Dome Gas Station

A little worse for wear but with no major vandalism or damage and still in its original spot. Pumps still show the amounts of their last purchases. Kinda sad. Hopefully someone will move it into town soon. [Goze211, 05/02/2010]

Teapot Dome Gas Station is still in pretty good shape. [Don Stevens, 10/16/2009]

[RA: This is still worth visiting, off by itself, and someone is paying to keep the lights on. The Teapot may yet rise again!]

Well, it took a few years to stop and see the Tea Pot Gas Station (We were on our way back from Vegas via Salt Lake.). It was closed, but it was in pretty good shape. The pumps read $1.79. No signs of vandalism -- that was nice. [R n B, 03/21/2009]

[RA: Phil Pasquini let us know: "The city of Zillah recently purchased the Teapot Dome Gas station and is working with the Friends of the Teapot to raise funds to move the famous structure into town where it can be protected from vandalism. Donations can be sent to Keybank, 100 7th St., Zillah, Washington 98953 - (509) 829-5200. Checks should be made out in care of the Friends of the Teapot Association."]
