Built in 1924, and billed as "the world's largest bottle", The Bottle (sometimes referred to as The "Nehi Inn") was built by John F. Williams, owner of the Nehi Bottling Company, in Opelika, Alabama. The Bottle stood 64 feet (20 m) tall, and measured forty-nine feet (15 m) in diameter at the base, and 16 feet (4.9 m) at the cap. The ground floor was a grocery store and service station. The second and third floors were living quarters and storage.

The neck of the Bottle had windows for use as an observation tower. The "bottle cap" was the roof. Inside there was a spiral oak stairway. The Bottle became a gathering place for tourists and locals alike to swap yarns and have parties every Friday night on the balcony above the service station.
