- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about roadside architecture. Roadside architecture consists of the various structures built to serve the motoring public. Generally associated with twentieth-century road development, the main types of roadscape resources are restaurants, automobile showrooms, recreation and amusement facilities, stores, specialized buildings and artifacts, overnight accommodations, and gas stations. In its early stages, roadside architecture was vernacular in form, but with advancing technology and the franchising of businesses, the buildings became standardized and therefore easily recognized by patrons.
