Anyone in the market for a free ‘castle-shaped portable diner’ in Kansas? Take a look

A tiny Kansas place that was once a portable diner in the 1930s has been given new life thanks to a viral social media post.

The castle-shaped metal building came from Ablah Hotel Supply, a Wichita-based company that made “pre-fab diners in the late ‘20s through mid to late 1930s,” the listing on Cheap Old Houses notes. While the diner itself is devastatingly cute, it’s the price of the place that’s the real kicker:

It’s free.

At least it is if a new owner is able to remove it from its currently rural resting spot.

This isn’t the first time this diner has made the rounds, however. It first popped up on Facebook Marketplace in 2019 by owners Ada and Robert Sutherland, The Wichita Eagle reported. The diner was hidden on a property purchased by the Sutherlands in Douglass.

“This building has been so fun for us,” Ada told the Eagle. “Now we just want people to be able to enjoy it.”

Originally, the Sutherlands wanted to give the diner to the Historic Preservation Alliance of Wichita and Sedgwick, which wanted to relocate the diner to Wichita, but that deal might have fallen through.

McClatchy News has reached out to the Sutherlands and have yet to hear back.
