Kindle's was the first of the Big Donut Drive-In chain. The 1950 diner with the giant donut on the roof was designed by Henry J. Goodwin. The roof sculpture is Gunite over a steel frame and is by Robert Graham. At least five Big Donuts survive, the best-known being Randy's, near the LA Airport. Modeling Kindle's showed some slight difference from Randy's; Kindle's has more glass. #1950 #1950s #donuts #fast_food #giant_donut #Henry_J_Goodwin #Kindles #Los_Angeles #programmatic_architecture #Robert_Graham #Westwood
