This popular restaurant burned in the 1950s. Jerry Robinson, owner of the White Center News, bought the remaining frame, moved it to a new site a block away (17th Avenue SW and SW 98th Street), and rebuilt it as his newspaper's third office.
The building stood on high concrete foundations, with a main entry approached up several steps. The exterior front facade was faced in square ceramic tile. An oblate octagonal front window, influenced by Asian precedents, illuminated the restaurant's interior.
