Ted's Diner was a historic diner at 67 Main Street in Milford, Massachusetts.

History

[edit]

Ted's Diner was manufactured by the Tierney Diner company in the 1920s and was, until its demise, the oldest of its make in the country.[2] It was also unusual in the state as a double-width diner, and was grafted onto an adjacent late 19th-century house, which provided additional seating capacity.[3]

Ted's was removed to make way for the expansion of Milford's firehouse. After sitting in a parking lot for almost a year, vandals and weather had taken their toll, and Ted's was finally demolished.[2]

The diner was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
