The Tepee was located just north of St. Petersburg on Highway 19.

TeePee Curios
Tucumcari, NM
TeePee Curios features an iconic teepee-shaped entrance. It opened as a Gulf gas station, grocery store, and souvenir shop in 1944. During road expansion, the gas pumps were removed. The neon sign was built in the mid-1960s. The sign was restored in 2003, based on a vintage photo. Shortly thereafter, a neon longhorn skull was installed over the building's entrance. The souvenir shop is still open. For more, see this website.
