Coffee Pot Restaurant, Indiana, 1939

I for one would infinitely prefer to have a cup of Joe in this giant coffee pot  than at a modern day Starbucks. Too late, alas.

 “Inspired by a picture of a building in Popular Mechanics, Elmer Laudeman turned a wooden silo into the Coffee Pot Restaurant in 1932. After the building fell into disrepair, the state purchased it and demolished the local landmark to make way for the Bremen bypass.”
