Spartacus Educational. Teapot Dome Scandal. In the early part of the 20th century large oil reserves were discovered at Elk Hills, California and Teapot Dome, Wyoming. In 1912 President William Taft decided that this government owned land and its oil reserves should be set aside for the use of the United States Navy.
Itâs 136.5m (448ft) high, the highest dome in the world, so you feel rather awed. But itâs not as wide as either the Pantheon or the Duomo. Alarmingly, this dome began to crack in the mid 18th century so chains were put in to hold the inner dome to the outer shell dome. Hopefully, these will continue to hold.
