TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - A bit of Ohio hamburger history is for sale in downtown Toledo for just $1 - but you have to get it to go.
The YWCA of Greater Toledo wants to expand and needs to dispose
of the state's very first White Tower burger joint, which sits on the corner of the Y's property and has been closed since 2004.
While the price of the tiny, nearly 80-year-old diner with white porcelain walls is just a buck, the buyer will have to move the building to another location.
Otherwise, officials say the 600-square-foot restaurant could be torn down this fall.
At one time, Toledo had more than a dozen White Towers, a restaurant chain that reached its peak in the 1950s as a competitor to Columbus-based White Castle. Ohio White Towers were concentrated in Toledo, Dayton, and Cleveland.
