Bridge Round House

The Bridge Round House is a diner located at the southeastern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, adjacent to the tourist plaza which was renovated in 2012.[1] The Bridge Round House, an Art Deco design by Alfred Finnila completed in 1938, has been popular throughout the years as a starting point for various commercial tours of the bridge and an unofficial gift shop.[2] The diner was renovated in 2012[1] and the gift shop was then removed as a new, official gift shop has been included in the adjacent plaza renovations.[2]
