Inscription. This World War II era Quonset hut, with a unique stone façade was built here in 1950. It started out as a family-run dry cleaning business by the original owners. Over the years it has been a photo studio and the home of several roadside diners serving hungry Route 66 travelers. In 2016, it was remodeled and opened as Graze Catering, continuing its food service legacy.
