I just visited the station on 11-29-06 and was pleased to see that the reported vandalism was not visible. Some grafitti was painted over but the station is intact. It looks great in the snow! I have corrected the HWY 82 exit directions, which is actually exit #54.

Teapot Dome Gas Station is a working gas station with full service (clean windows, check fluids, pump gas, etc) and the man who was working there (not sure if he is the owner or what) is happy to give you info on it and tell you the story of the real "Teapot Dome Scandal." It had something to do with an oil scandal years ago.
[Jennifer, 10/18/1998]It was built in 1922 by Jack Ainsworth as a political statement over the Harding Teapot Dome scandal.
