Designed by architect Louis L. Armét of Los Angeles, California, the 1967 White Spot Restaurant is an excellent example of increasingly rare Googie style architecture. Popular during the 1950s and 1960s and influenced by car culture and the Space Age, the futuristic style originated in Southern California and spread across the United States, becoming a particularly popular style for coffee shops, diners, and motels near major commercial roadways through the 1970s.
