Ross Diner, Quechee, Vermont — John Margolies

John Margolies photographed Ross Diner in Quechee, Vermont, in 1995 as part of his long-running documentation of American roadside architecture. The photograph records an everyday commercial building with the directness that characterizes his work, preserving the visual identity of a roadside diner without turning it into a formal architectural monument.

Made during the later years of Margolies's survey of the American roadside, the photograph belongs to an extensive archive of motels, restaurants, signs, gas stations, and other structures shaped by automobile culture. It is both a record of a specific place in Vermont and part of a broader visual history of twentieth-century vernacular design.
