Coffee Dan's
Architect: William Krisel for Palmer & Krisel (1957)
Client: Dr. Canby
Location: 6576 Van Nuys Boulevard, Van Nuys, CA
Photographer: Julius Shulman
William Krisel sent this series of photos to me after seeing the photos of tiki architecture that I posted recently. I see a strong hint of tiki here, and that "Outrigger Room" only serves to reinforce that impression. Also, I have seen this building credited to Armet & Davis. It is not by Armet & Davis, although that firm did design other restaurants from this chain.
