Bristol's
Restaurant was a typical Nims' derived design. Exceedingly long
lived, it remained a Howard Johnson's unit until the middle 1990s.
Unfortunately subsequent occupants were not successful. For a
brief moment it found use as a "Haunted House" during
at least one Halloween season--raising money for local charities.
However it was never again a going concern and by the middle 2000s
had been demolished.

Initially featuring a Trapezoid sign, likely topped with Simple
Simon and the Pieman, Bristol's Restaurant received an 'Orange
Roof' type street sign during the 1970s.
