The Hot Cha Cafe at So Cal Landmarks:
In about 1932, a small, hexagonal shingle-style Victorian building in Long Beach got a programmatic makeover, adding a large, angular percolator made of metal and glass on the roof, to become the Hot Cha Café. The name changed to the Koffee Pot Café, but it remained a coffee shop into the 1960s…
If this was still a cafe I’d totally go there just for the style. I’m glad it was restored instead of demolished!
