London, Connecticut |

New
London was a "Hillside-type" pre-War location
opened in about 1940. During the late 1940s it was franchised
to John S. Saxton who also held an interest in the Branford
Heights Restaurant. Incredibly New London was an Orange
Roofed Howard Johnson's for nearly 45 years.
By
the latter 2010s, the former HoJo's was operating as Paesano's
on Bank ,
an Italian themed eatery.
Left:
Remodeled in the 1960s, New London was transformed into
modernity. It relinquished its Cape Cod image for the space
age!!
Below:
In the 1950s New London featured the Winthrop Room as meeting
space for up to 90 patrons. |

Above,
Below, and Lower: Terrific photographs by John Margolies
from 1978 documenting the New London, Connecticut Howard Johnson's
Restaurant still sporting its 1960s make-over well into the latter
1970s. Unfortunately the Library of Congress incorrectly identifies
the photographs as the "Niantic," Connecticut Howard Johnson's
Restaurant. Obviously it is New London. |

the "pagoda-style" Kentucky Fried Chicken reflected in the
HoJo's entry doors! Although the pagoda-style building was demolished,
a KFC outlet continued to occupy its site well into the 2000s! |
