Hut's Hamburgers

Hut's Hamburgers was established at a different location in 1939. This building was constructed in 1939 and originally occupied by "Sammie's Drive-In". In 1947 and 1954, dining rooms were added. The building was used by "Eli's Lounge" and "Picante Mexican Restaurant" from 1964-1969. In 1969, Hut's Hamburgers moved here. For more, see this website.

Clock Family Restaurant

The Clock Family Restaurant sign looks an awful lot like this Bob's Big Boy. I don't know if the Clock is the original name or if this restaurant was ever part of a chain.
