Opened in the 1940s after WWII, the Hyde Park Howard Johnson's Restaurant was located directly across from the entrance to the Roosevelt estate (http://www.nps.gov/hofr/home.htm). It remained a HoJo's until the Howard Johnson Corporation's demise in the mid 1980s.

Built in the "colonial" style, the building today appears completely altered and unrecognizable as having been a Howard Johnson's.
 
 

 

 
 

 Mr. Thomas found that original light standards still stand in the former HoJo's parking lot.
 

 
 

Covering all sides, Jack got some shots from the back which perhaps remind us that the restaurant was once a Howard Johnson's.
