Welcome to the Official 
World's Largest Catsup Bottle® 
Web Site and Fan Club! 
Collinsville, Illinois U.S.A. 

Join us as we celebrate over 75 years of
roadside architecture at its best.

The World's Largest Catsup Bottle® stands proudly next to Route 159, just south of downtown Collinsville, Illinois. This unique 170 ft. tall water tower was built in 1949 by the W.E. Caldwell Company for the G.S. Suppiger catsup bottling plant - bottlers of Brooks old original rich & tangy catsup.

In 1995, due to the efforts of the Catsup Bottle Preservation Group, this landmark roadside attraction was saved from demolition and beautifully restored to its original appearance.

Recognized the world over as an excellent example of 20th century roadside Americana, the World's Largest Catsup Bottle regularly garners national attention and attracts visitors and tourists every day.

In August of 2002 it was named to the National Register of Historic Places, and in June of 2008 it was inducted into the Route 66 Association of Illinois Hall of Fame.
