Bob's Java Jive Teapot -- a landmark dive PhotoOp
PhotoOp,
Often called a teapot, it was actually built as a Giant Coffee Pot. Built in 1927 as the Coffee Pot Restaurant by a Tacoma veterinarian, Otis G. Button, this landmark was designed by local artist/promoter Bert Smyser, owner of a commercial display business. The concrete coffee pot stands 25 ft. high and is 30 ft. in diameter.
Full of nostalgia and kitsch. You won’t be at a loss for visual stimulation, because there is a clutter of memorabilia, photos and stuff tacked onto every wall and ceiling.
Hours: Can view any time. Opens in the evenings.
