Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, there are two constructed milk bottle-shaped buildings in the Spokane area, which accompanied a successful dairy operation's stores.

On the morning of September 26, 2011, the Garland Historical District Milk Bottle restaurant, owned by Mary Lou Ritchie, and the historical Ferguson's Café, located next door, were heavily damaged in a fire.

Company ads stated the bottles were "designed to build better men and women by making dairy products attractive to boys and girls.

No expense will be spared to make these new stores as sturdy as fine, and as good as the products they represent.

"[2] The milk bottle was photographed by John Margolies who captured images of roadside attractions around the United States.
