The Central Diner, now called The Elmwood Diner and formerly or also known as Liberty Elm Diner, Jenn's Elmwood Diner, Ole Elmwood Diner, Liberty Elm Diner, or Worcester Lunch Car Company Diner #806, is a historic diner at 777 Elmwood Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island.[3] The diner was built in 1947 by the Worcester Lunch Car Company as #806. It is a single story prefabricated structure, 10'6" wide and 40' long. At the ends of the diner the barrel roof has an overhang of three feet. There are entries at the north end (one of the original entrances) and in a projecting stainless steel vestibule on the eastern facade. The original southern entry is obscured by the cinderblock wall of the kitchen addition which projects to the diner's rear. The interior is well-preserved, with little alteration since its construction.[2]
The diner was first located at West Gaspee and Exchange Streets, a site which housed businesses known as the "Central Diner" since at least 1932. It was moved to its present location in 1953 or 1954, retaining the name. It is one of four Worcester Lunch Car Company diners (out of what was once a much larger number) still operating in Rhode Island.[2] The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on January 13, 2010.[1] The listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service's weekly list of January 22, 2010.[4]
