The Coffee Pot House

I purchased this Roadside America attraction a year ago. A lot has changed in its appearance. People come in and mention your App; thank you!

The pot now serves a giant coffee mug. America's favorite hot beverage sustains our national stovetop fetish for big coffee pots.

Building Shaped Like a Coffee Pot

Watch for the steam coming from the spout and the sign out front that says "Coffee Pot Art." A great stop if you're into unique original art craft and gifts.

Coffee Pot.

The Coffee Pot House

An art studio since 2016: The Coffee Pot Art Studio. Owner/artist Mark Breithaupt came out to talk to us even though it was a closed day. Gave us a couple of postcards that detail the building's history with a series of photos illustrating its evolution as many businesses. He said: "Visitors are welcome to stop and take photos and enjoy the art offerings available here."
