The station's design was a satirical nod to the 1920s Teapot Dome Scandal, where government officials were accused of accepting bribes for oil leases.
Built in 1922, the gas station is shaped like a teapot, complete with a spout and handle, making it a rare example of novelty architecture.
In 1985, it was added to the register, recognizing its cultural and historical significance in American history.
The Teapot Dome Gas Station was moved in 1978 to its current location to preserve it from demolition.
It operated as a gas station until the 1990s, serving travelers along the Yakima Valley Highway.
