Fleetwood Diner

The Fleetwood was built from a kit by Donald Reid and originally named the Dagwood. Before 1948 the City building code required masonry for all new restaurant construction. In July of that year, Reid petitioned the city for a change in the building code. In August, the City Council passed an amendment that appeared to be custom written for the Dagwood. It allowed metal construction for new buildings of 1000 square feet or less and no more than a single story, but only for restaurants and stores.
