Topsy’s Cafe – University

Constructed in 1947 by Jack Corn, contractor, Topsy’s Cafe was operated by Jack and Vivian Allen for over 25 years. The diner’s smooth aluminum sides feature horizontal and vertical banding around the doors and windows. Vertical reeded metal covers the curbed front corner of the clean, streamlined building. A stucco-walled structure has been added to the rear, but the metal diner remains essentially intact.
