Denny's (page 4)

(hit "refresh" to get the most recent version of this page; click on photos for larger images)

The Denny's buildings shown on this page and the next one were also designed by Armet & Davis around 1964. They called the design the "cupcake". I have nicknamed this style the "crown roof" type. The crown conceals the utility and AC units on the roof. For more, see this website.

The locations shown on this page and the next one are organized alphabetically by state.
