Architectural Analysis Introduction The Tastes 29 Diner is an in-factory-constructed medium-size restaurant built by the Mountain View Diner Company of Singac, New Jersey. It was trucked to its present site and arrived on July 20 1947.' This unusually intact diner typifies the American modern architectural genre of streamline design. As a fine example of this genre, the Tastee 29 Diner has all of the architectural detailing that would have been included in a high-style streamline building. Virtually machine-like, this diner was conceived as an efficient and clean modern restaurant, with visible, engineered efficiency to serve good meals quickly. The shining steel and tile conveyed the image cleanliness. The beauty of machine precision is expressed in the sleek rounded glass brick corners, the green and red neon tubes, blue porcelain enamel, formica, and the interiors brightly colored ceramic tile. Perhaps the most significant expression of streamlining on the Tastes 29 are the mobile-appearing stainless steel prows--an obvious reference to modern railroad car, nautical, or aeronautical design. while this style was inspired by architects and industrial designers such as Edward Durell Stone and Norman Bel Geddes, the Tastes 29 Diner was a product of the translation of this high style by non-architects: by the craftsmen/entrepreneurs such as Les Daniel and Henry Strys who founded the Mountain View Diner company in 1939
