Complimenting
its adjacent Motor Lodge, the Hamden Restaurant was based
on the Nims design. The Restaurant suffered a nearly catastrophic
fire in the early 1980s which sent flames shooting through
the cupola tower! The Restaurant was renovated and reopened
with fresh Landmark Supply furnishings. |

the 2000s, the interior included its octagon ceiling lattice
marking the salad bar's former spot. |

Converted
into the Hamden Townhouse Diner some time after 1986, the former
Howard Johnson's Restaurant remained largely recognizable until
the middle 2000s. Then during 2004 or 2005 the Restaurant received
the Hideous Hamden former Motor Lodge facade. |

Side view revealed that the Restaurant's original roof remained
intact behind the Hideous Hamden treatment.

Note that the "Roof-logo" type street sign was left
in place and recycled with a new face to advertise the Hideous
Hamden Clarion--yuck. |
