Description

Roadside businesses attracted drive-by customers with a new style of novelty architecture that frequently took the form of the main product. This restaurant complex was situated next to an apple orchard and offered every convenience for the traveling public—camping grounds, gasoline service, restrooms, and a dance floor on the roof.
