Meriden, Connecticut -- 2003 Berlin Turnpike
(Wilbur Cross Parkway was also listed as its address)
 
Since Meriden has undergone several alterations and no vintage images have surfaced, the Restaurant's original design is not clearly evident. Nonetheless the building resembles a "Hillside-type," and was likely opened in the 1940s. Part of the Carter empire, the Restaurant remained a Howard Johnson's until the early 1970s. In 1993 it was converted into an upscale eatery called the Sans Souci.
