The Miss Florence Diner is an historic diner in the Florence village of Northampton, Massachusetts. It was manufactured in 1941 by the Worcester Lunch Car Company and is one of four diners in the city. It has an L-shaped configuration, with barreled roofs in both directions, topped by a parapet on which the name of the diner appears in Moderne lettering. Mounted at the corner of the L is a distinctive chevron-shaped sign that bears its name. At the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, it had been owned by the same family since its construction.—missflorencediner.com—This image was processed as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) composition.
