This World War II era Quonset hut, with a unique stone faηade 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.
Erected 2019 by Pacific Inc.

More about this marker. This is not one of the original "Hampton Hotels Save-a-Landmark/Route 66 Roadside Attraction" markers; it was put up in later years by Pacific Inc. and the Magi Foundation. According to a Facebook post by Graze Catering on September 2, 2019, this sign was placed at that time.
