Teapot Dome Service Station
Located on Old State Highway 12 in Zillah, Washington, the Teapot Dome Service Station was built in 1922. A circular frame building with conical roof, sheet-metal "handle," and concrete "spout," it is an example of the roadside architectural follies built during the expansion of the national highway system in the 1920s and 1930s.

Selling oil products from a teapot-shaped structure was intended as a humorous reminder of the Teapot Dome scandals that rocked President Warren G. Harding's administration (1921-1923). That controversy sent U.S. Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall to prison for leasing government oil reserves in Teapot Dome, Wyoming, and Elk Hills, California, to private producers. The Teapot Dome station continues to operate as a full service gas station and is a familiar sight to travelers in eastern Washington.

Benewah Milk Bottle
A favorite and familiar landmark in Spokane, Washington, the Benewah Milk Bottle is an example of the concept of literalism in advertising. Completed in 1935, the bottle is stuccoed from its base to that section which tapers to the neck. The neck itself and cap are covered with sheet metal over a wooden frame. The entire structure originally was painted white.

Owner Paul E. Newport built two such milk bottles as retail outlets for his thriving Benewah Dairy Company. His advertising stated that the bottles were "designed to build better men and women by making dairy products attractive to boys and girls. No expense will be spared to make these new stores as sturdy as fine, and as good as the products they represent." To mark the opening of the new milk bottle stores, Newport sponsored a soap box derby on Post Hill, an event that was enjoyed by thousands of young people.

This narrow, cluttered gift novelty store -- a mainstay of Seattle Tourism -- never fails to please and revolt. Your host and hostess are Sylvester and Sylvia Mummy, a desicated though likable couple behind glass. They are American rather than Egyptian mummies.

Other Shoppe denizens include a virtual family of Barnum Mermaid, a Mer-Baby, and a Mer-dog named "Petri-Fido."

The requisite freak pig in a jar shares space with a ship scale model constructed entirely of matchsticks. The latest addition is a 350-year-old "African voodoo monkey" -- its intestines have been removed and braided onto its head.

Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe has been here since 1899, and thrives on an urban waterfront crowded with vacationers by day, and the friendly Seattle homeless by night

The Codger Pole  Between Hwy's 12 and 127 between rolling green hills, Gaia's attractive pagan buttocks, toward Colfax. Signs  direct you to the Codger Pole, a sixty-five-foot tall chain saw sculpture commemorating a 1988 high school football rematch -- played fifty years after the first game by the same participants. The pole is actually a fagot of five separate wooden columns, with the heads of all the golden-aged players carved into them. Town fathers have done a great job displaying and publicizing the Codger Pole, perhaps because town fathers are the very people portrayed.
