The Teapot Dome Service Station in Washington state, USA, is a former gas station that is regarded as a classic example of mimetic architecture.

Built in the shape of a teapot, it was one of many such novelty buildings that were to be found along highways as ‘attractions’ during the 1920s and 30s. However, this building is more significant than most due to being built as an architectural reminder of a government scandal.

It had a damaging impact on the then-President Warren Harding and the Interior Secretary Albert Fall was sent to prison. Some of those reserves were located at Teapot Dome, Wyoming.

The building was hand-crafted and built in 1922 on what would become known as Route 12. Measuring 14 ft in diameter, it is comprised of a circular frame clad in timber shingles, with a conical roof, sheet metal in the shape of a teapot handle, and a concrete stove pipe that was constructed to resemble a spout.
