This evocative volume documents the whimsical and idiosyncratic architecture that defined the American roadside during the mid-twentieth century. Through a curated collection of vintage photography, Richard Longstreth explores the commercial vernacular of diners, motels, and novelty structures that transformed the nation's highways into a landscape of cultural curiosity.
