Porst SP Xpro The Wich Stand 2
Wich Stand was a 1950s style coffee shop with a tilting blue roof and a 35-foot spire. It housed a cocktail lounge and featured carhop service. It was declared a landmark by Los Angeles County in 1989. The restaurant opened in 1957, fell upon hard times in the mid-1980s and declined and was vandalised, including a gutting of the floors and ceilings, after the restaurant closed in 1988. The Beach Boys lived in the area and wrote an unreleased song called "Wich Stand".
A surviving example of Googie architecture, a critic said its "plunging dart of a sign keeps it from spinning off into space."
It was refurbished and reopened as the Simply Wholesome Restaurant and health food store.
