There are buildings shaped like everyday items hidden all over the place. Tacoma has the Java Jive, a coffeeshop and bar in a building that's shaped like a giant teapot on the coffeeshop side, or at least it did when I lived there. In one of the small Idaho Panhandle towns, there's a realty office in a similar building to the Java Jive, except its "novelty" half is an old-fashioned miner's helmet & light (which, thank goodness, doesn't light up because it's like 8 feet wide and aimed right at I-90).
Someone interested in novelty buildings should start a thread about them. Those are the only other 2 I've seen with my own eyes.
