Dick's Drive-In

This guide to Dick's Drive-In on Broadway in Seattle traces back to 1954, when architect Raymond Peck drew up a simple walk-up stand in Wallingford for founders Dick Spady, Warren Ghormley and B O A Thomas. It follows how, rather than commissioning something new for this second location in 1955, they handed Peck the same drawings, a pattern repeated at nearly every Dick's built since. You'll hear about the one location that ever broke from that design, and how the stand's unchanging look later drew Seattle musicians to name-check and even climb it. Look up at the roofline that made this design famous for staying exactly the same.
