Statement of Significance The Tastee 29 Diner is a rare survivor among the once-numerous streamlined Moderns diners that operated in the United States. While it in rare to find one of these 1940's diners still standing, it is even more unusual to find one still in operation. The high quality of this Mountain View diner has withstood the test of time in a hostile environment. (The Mountain View Diner Company of Singac, New Jersey was in business between 1939 and 1957). When this diner was moved to its site in 20 July 1947,1 the County of Fairfax was predominately rural and Route 29 was the major highway leading from the Washington, D.C., area and points north into the northern Virginia countryside. The Tastes 29 Diner is a rare fragment of early- and aid-twentieth-century roadside architecture that once stood along this busy roadway. Because of its rarity in the region and its exceptional example of the diner type, it has achieved National Register level significance within the past fifty years. A unique Mountain View diner with high architectural integrity, the Tastes 29 Diner in undoubtedly a member of a notable class of American buildings.
