You\u2019ll notice the circular frame of the roof and the \u201chandle\u201d made of sheet metal. A concrete concoction makes up the spout. In the early part of the twenty-first century, these buildings were crafted as roadside attractions and were especially prevalent in the 20s and 30s.<\/p>\n<p>Yakima\u2019s gas station was functional for years. However, when Interstate 82 was created less than one mile away, customers stopped coming to the Teapot Dome for anything more than a novelty picture. The city bought it in 2007, rehabilitated it, and relocated it to its current home on First Avenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Aptly named, the Teapot Dome used to be a gas station and was designed to look like a teapot.
