This Diner is Free- with a Catch

A very small castle in Wichita, Kansas, is listed for a rather low price- it's free! And that old adage about location, location, location, doesn't apply here, because you'll have to move it. But this is a historic opportunity. This 20'x20' castle is a prefab diner that once sold hamburgers on East Douglas Avenue in Wichita. It dates back to the 1930s, and was built by the Wichita-based company Ablah Hotel Supply. According to the Instagram account Cheap Old Houses, it was the only castle-shaped diner the company ever built, possibly inspired by White Castle, which was also founded in Wichita.

Moving the diner may be expensive, as the floor is cement. But it is doable. The current owners have decided that they don't want to put in the time and effort to restore it, but they hope that whoever takes the diner will want to preserve it for its historical value. -via Nag on the Lake
