This Multiple Property Documentation (MPD) Form facilitates the nomination to the registers of diners in Virginia. From the mid-1930s through the 1950s the diner was the ubiquitous roadside eatery, symbolizing warm comfort and relatively quickly prepared home cooking. This architectural form was significant and it developed in step with the popularization of the automobile during the Great Depression and World War II period.
