The giant rooftop donut sign
The giant rooftop donut is part of the building’s architecture, not a separate roadside sign. Inglewood Public Art says the shop was completed in 1953 as part of Russell C. Wendell’s Big Donut Drive-In chain. The project page credits structural engineer Richard Bradshaw with designing the rooftop donut from rolled steel bars covered with gunite.
The Los Angeles Conservancy describes the building as a Mid-Century Modern drive-up food stand topped by a giant donut. The shop has also appeared in television shows, music videos and films.
