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.

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]

Teapot Dome Gas Station

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]
