Streamliner Diner

-A A +A
1938, Worcester Lunch Car Company. 120 W. Henry St.

This Art Moderne Worcester Diner Model 751 is great industrial design masquerading as an elegant roadside restaurant pretending to be a railroad car. Stainless steel, mahogany, marble, and tile are arranged into counters and booths with coat stands and hat drawers, making this an unparalleled opportunity to dine with design. Bobbie’s Diner (1952; 1402 Habersham Street), manufactured by Mountain View Diners Company, features more midcentury chrome and Naugahyde. SCAD acquired both in 1989.
