This “double barreled” aluminum structure is a XXX Root Beer Drive-In, c. 1940. The chain folded by the 1970s, but the Issaquah branch survives as an independent. Besides this and the Twin Teepees, Seattle had a third dual-building restaurant, the Igloo. Open on Denny Way from 1940 to 1954, it took the form of two white hemispheres. (Seattle Municipal Archives.)

The Polynesia Restaurant on Pier 51, with its lush tiki interior and triple-A-frame exterior, cost $500,000 when it was built in 1961. Twenty years later, the state condemned it to expand the ferry terminal at Colman Dock. The building was put on a barge and moved to the Duwamish River. It was later burned for practice by the Seattle Fire Department. (Author’s collection.)
