WINCHESTER, Va. (AP) — The 61-year-old Triangle Diner in Winchester has been placed on the Virginia Landmarks Register.
The diner also has been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.
It's one of 10 prefabricated stainless-steel diners in Virginia and has stood in Winchester since 1948.
The Triangle Diner is owned by Dulles-based Medallion 7 Financial. Managing director Michael Lessin says the diner is one of the few remaining examples of that type of architecture.
The diner is closed but Lessin says the company plans to restore it and reopen it in the spring or summer.
Lessin says the company plans to invest about $1 million in the restoration.
