'Designed in 1942 by George and Toppie Belcher, the eleven stucco and wood rooms were part of that golden era of roadside novelties when people would drive miles out of their way to buy gas from an oil-derrick service station. Actual construction of the Tee Pee was delayed until after World War 2. The Belcher's began in 1947, when lumber and critical building materials were still being rationed. Lacy Helms, owner of a Wharton lumber yard, had to jump through Federal hoops and unravel miles of government red tape to just get enough lumber to build the framework.
It was ironic that when we moved from Arizona to Wharton, we spent our first night in town at this place.
When I started geocaching in 2015, I wondered how on earth this place doesnt have a cache!
