The first paragraph mentions "converted trolley,street car, subway car, or rail car."Bill's Diner also satisfies theResistration Requirement in Section F. art IV ( a q e17): "Diners to be listedunder this document must either be prefabricated,-builtin a factory and shippedto site, or they must have been constructed with the specific intention toclosely resemble the prefabricated form."Summarv Descri tionBill's Diner is a streetcar converted for restaurant use. As a streetcar, thevehicle served its transportation life in Reidsville, North Carolina, until1938.' From the late 1930s through the 1950s, most towns and cities in theUnited states began converting to bus service. Because of this transportationevolution, streetcars were relegated to the scrapper, or for other purposes.For the budding restaurant entrepreneur, the streetcar had many of the samedesign and spacial characteristics as the factory-constructed diner.BillFretwell of Chatham, Virginia, recognized an opportunity when the streetcars ofReidsville were made available. He brought the single-truck car to Chatham tohouse his already successful food stand business in 1937. The streetcar vehicle became a popular competitor to the factory-made LunchWagons of the early 20th century. The cross-design of rail vehicles and themobile restaurants gave birth to the popular descriptive term "diner" forprefabricated diners.: Interviews were conducted with Bill Fretwell's sons, Dale and Wayne.Dale, and his wife Glinna, discussed Bill Fretwell's life and the history of thediner in a long phone interview, April 3, 1996. (Kenneth) Wayne Fretwell wasalso consulted. He was interviewed. over the phone, on April 6, 1996. Wayne haswritten The Fretwell Family history (unpublished, December 1979). A great dealof specific description and history comes directly from these reliable sources.Wayne also has provided historical photographs and took time to draw the interiorconfiguration of the diner as Bill used it in the 1930s and 1960s.Kenneth Wayne Fretwell, The Fretwell Family.

Thestand, which was in operation by 1935 in depths of the Great Depression stood ata previous site in town before it was moved to the BolanZe Corner, the site thateventually accommodated the diner.'Fretwell purchased the single-truck streetcar from the Duke Power Company ofReidsville.' While the specific manufacturer of the vehicle is unknown, the caris similar in appearance to a Brill Company car (Philadelphia).Bill's Diner as a VehicleThe single-truck car that became Bill's i n e rhad superseded the Victorian carsthat survived from the earlier Dart of the centurv. Its survival is testimonvto the rugged steel body constriction that was common in the 1920s. Most likelya mid-1920s car, Bill's was probably one of the last streetcars to travel thestreets of Reidsville before the more mobile bus became the common mode of innercity public transportation.The shape and design of the streetcar had evolved from the narrow-width, horsedrawn wagon-type of car from the mid to late nineteenth century to a rounded-enddesign that preceded the streamline designs of the Zephyr rail road passengercars of the 1930s. Rounded at both ends with a generous amount of window area,the single truck streetcar of the 1920s was a commodious and relatively efficientmeans of travel. The car carried about 15 people.The sturdy exterior construction of the carrsbody consists of heavy steel. Thesteel roof is supported by metal framing covered with wood trim at the window anddoor openings. The lower wall featured double-thickness of riveted panels. Thelower walls, at either end of the car, featured a lamp and a small projectingfender. Running lights were mounted into a frieze strip at the front and rearends.The original fenestration consisted of three transom-topped large glass panelsat the front end of the car and seven bays of transom-over-largepanes on theside walls, for the passengers. When used as a vehicle, there were horizontalprotective steel bars across each of the passenger widows for protection.

The doors consisted of woodenvertical doors that folded open on a track. The lower door was paneled, whilethe upper area was glazed with narrow vertical panes. The interior includedwooden benches and trim. The ceilingwas clad in thin tongue-and-groovepanel.The woodwork was originally finished in varnish.-The Duke Power Comanv car becomes Bill's DinerFurther research may reveal how the car was prepared for travel to the newstationary site on Chatham's Main Street, but several facts are obvious. Toreduce the tremendous weight of the car, the heavy wheel assemblies were mostlikely removed before transporting the car. None of the car's under carriage isvisible. The car presently sits low to the ground where its frame is probablysupported on masonry or wood blocks.Streetcars were powered by overheadelectrical lines, and it is likely that the contact frames on the roof top werealso removed by the scrapper company before transport.The streetcar was sited on a narrow and deep lot, at the busy corner of SouthMain and Depot streets. Locally this 22' by 60 1/2' lot was known as the BolanzeCorner (sometimes spelled Bolanz). This lot is completely surrounded on thenorth and west ends by a large two-story, early-20th-centurybuilding, known forlongest period as the Grubbs' Ford Dealership building. The diner was sited ata slight angle to face the intersection. The angle closed off a triangular spaceon the two-story building side. This triangular rear area was later covered overto create a room for extra seating.The exterior needed very little alteration for its restaurant conversion. Theinterior underwent the needed remodeling to accommodate kitchen machinery. Unlikethe stools-counter-and-backbar defined space found in most diners, as well asthe larger Burnett's Diner just up the street, Fretwell had limited interiorseating in his earliest configuration of the restaurant.Seating space was near the entry at the east end of the car. One booth waslocated in this area, and additional seating was located in the rear triangularroom. Originally Fretwell used the streetcar seats in the car seating area. Therear wall of the streetcar originally had three openings to access the rear area.Fretwell had a tightly planned kitchen space. Since a great deal of the initialbusiness was walk up, or "curb service", about two thirds of the car wasoutfitted with cold storage and cooking equipment. Starting from the long frontwall and moving clockwise, the kitchen featured: a large drink cooler; two steamtables with cash register, cakes, cookies, and chips, as well as the primaryburger and hot dog preparation area; the conductor's window served as the curbThe original configuration was carefully sketched by Kenneth WayneFretwell (correspondence, April 9, 1996).

The back wall of the car consisted of a door to the rear at thewest end; the primary burners (three) were on a table; a Lance Cookie casedivided the burner area from an ice cream freezer. The space included a largered Coke cooler that was used as the primary food cooler. The cooler wasstrategically placed near the entrance, so the Coca-Cola advertising on thefreezer invited soda sales.-A great deal of Bill's business was initially walk-up service, but theopportunity to bring more customers inside spurred the building of additionalspace from the rear of the car to the west, eventually filling out most of thevacant area of the small lot. The addition survives as a prominent feature ofthe present diner. Built as early as the 1950s, the additions evolved into the1960s.Bill's son, Dale Fretwell, remembers that the area immediately to the rear of thecar was used for additional dining area, while the concrete block area to thewest of the car was originally used to seat Blacks.' By the 1960s a pool tablewas installed in the larger back room and a pinball machine increasedrecreational activities in the small triangular shaped rear room.Later Evolution of the InteriorThe diner was sold out of the Fretwell family to Walter Whittle, in 1982. Aftermore than 40 vears of hard use. the buildina continued to rovide viablerestaurant space. Whittle reworkdd the interio; to feature a booth area in thecar section of the diner. The triangular rear space to the rear of the carbecame the primary kitchen area. Presently the dining space in the car consistsof four table and booths units. Food is ordered and delivered through a passthrough window from the kitchen. Walter Whittle still maintains the rear rooms.once used as a pool hall, as additional eating space, so the small restaurant canactually accommodate 60 patrons.'Most of the intact exterior displays either streetcar features or historicalalterations. One of the windows still includes its safety bars. The roof wascovered over with a simple frame gable and clad at the ends in novelty siding (c.1945).'Kenneth Wayne Fretwell, phone interview, April 6, 1996.Walter Whittle, interviews at the diner, August 30&31, 1995

The diner is being nominated under criterion C for its architecturalrarity. Because, the occurrence of streetcar diners was more centered around theevents of the Great Depression, and the use of streetcars for other thanvehicular purposes marked the end of an era in transportation, the diner is alsonominated under criterion A, for its relation to the broad pattern oftransportation and comercial history.-.Bill's Diner was run by William Lewis Fretwell of Chatham.His businesspredates, the nearby, Burnett's Diner, possibly by as much as several years.Fretwell began his business with a simple hot dog stand, an establishment whichFretwellreputedly sold the first commercially-produced hot dogs in Chatham.eventually bought a single-truck streetcar in Reidsville, North Carolina (somemiles south on Route 2 9 ) . Bill's lucrative operation influenced Henry, Frankand Jessie Burnett to buy the retired double-truck, Thomas Company Car, from theDanville Power and Traction Company sometime between 1938 and 1943.'By the Great Depression, the streetcar vehicle had became a popular competitorto factory-made Lunch Wagons of the early 20th century. By the 1930s. manyconverted streetcar restaurants dotted the American urban landscape. Bothprefabricated diners, which by the 1930s were called diners more often than LunchCars, and streetcars usually bore the label "diner.""The great numbers of operating streetcars, which were replaced between 1930 and1950 by buses, created a ready-made building for the streetcar diner business.Occasionally old rail cars were also converted as was the case of the VirginiaDiner in Wakefield, which was a retired Sussex, Surry and Southampton Railroadpaymasters car, possibly dating as early as the 1860s. Until several years ago,a streetcar diner stood at l o y d ,the county seat of Floyd County; and one of themore unusual streetcar constructions survlves in New Kent County: two singletruck cars joined, side by side, are used as a hunting cabin.The Great Depression inspired an economic resourcefulness that has not beenrivaled by any other perlod in this century. Streetcar diners were a common siteon the main streets of small towns and cities. While Burnett's and Bill's dinerssurvive as the last example in Virginla, Charlottesville had two streetcar dinerson its University Corner, an area made famous by its relationship to theUniversity of Virginia. It is safe to claim that finding two operating streetcardiners in one small town is extremely rare. These are the last two in Virginia.Kenneth Wayne Fretwell, The Fretwell Familv and interviews; Henry Burnett,Jr., interview, August 3 0 , 1995.loRichard J.S. Gutman. Amerlcan Dlner, 1979 edition

The total surviving examplesnumber under 20."Southside Virginia is famous for its tobacco industry, and Pittsylvania County,one of the primary tobacco-producing areas since the late eighteenth century,benefits from its relationship to the Southside industrial center of Danville.While the Great Depression caused disruption of all aspects of the Americaneconomy, the popularity of tobacco products continued to grow in the pre-WorldWar I1 years. Chatham was the courthouse town for a county with a vibrantagricultural economy.Courthouse days weren't the only periods when the town came to life. Accordingto the Fretwell and Burnett families, weekends were boom business days." Daylaborers, many of which were African American, had one opportunity each week tocome into town to shop and take care of business. Chatham's streets were filledwith farmers, farm workers, and Hargrave Military Academy cadets on Saturdays.The demand for affordable and quick meals was obvious to Bill Fretwell and theBurnett brothers.Fretwell had grown up in and around Chatham. Bill's father, George Lynn Fretwellsold Singer Sewing machines from a horse- drawn cart early this century. GeorgeFretwell died at an early age forcing Bill to quit school. In the depth of theDepression, Bill sold fruit at a stand, delivered mail. and even manufacturedhomemade beer for bottled sales. A fateful trip to Norfolk brought him intocontact with a Mrs. McKay (of Massachusetts). She persuaded Bill to go into thehot dog buslness."-'There is no exhaustive survey known of these buildings, although severaldiner historlans. Daniel Zilka, director of the American Diner Museum, andRichard Gutman, author of American Diner, have guessed that the total number isprobably less than twenty, nationally. There may have been a substantiallyhigher number of streetcar diners in the South due to the distance, and highercost of sending a factory-made diner over the more primitive highway networks.Artist John Baeder has depicted other vehicles used as diners, such as convertedtrailer homes and buses. Many of these conversions existed in the South.-'Kenneth Wayne Fretwell, Dale and Glinna Fretwell, and Henry Burnett. Jrrecall that weekends were peak periods." Most of the personal account of Bill's life comes from Kenneth WayneFretwell's The Fretwell Family.

Bill constructed a tent-covered stand with board-on-barrel counter for his firstestablishment, which reputedly sold the first hot dogs in Chatham." Mrs. McKaycame by the famous Bill's Diner chili recipe from a Greek restaurateur.In 1937, Bill replaced the tent stand with the streetcar. To celebrate thedelivery of the streetcar, Bill bought two quarts of moonshine and shared it withthe men who helped position the new diner in its angled position.Bill continued to work as the assistant manager at the local ALP, while he leasedthe Diner to his brothers, George and Jimmy, as well as to Buford Campbell. whenthe diner operation became more lucrative, Bill quit his lB/week job at thegrocery store.Bill's Diner was one of the first restaurants in Chatham to serve beer and winein Chatham, which accounted for a large part of the diner's earnings. whenChatham outlawed wine and beer sales in town, Bill purchased an old buildingoutside the town limits near the train depot. Anticipating Bill's plans, thetown limits were subsequently moved beyond his new parcel.During the years of segregation, Blacks were initially served at the conductor'swindow at the west end of the car. Later the rear addition served as a separateserving space for African American customers. Whites sat in the car area and therear triangular space separated from the Black area by thin plywood walls.Fretwell ran a diverse establishment. In the late years of the Depression, thediner included several slot machines that brought in an additional 50 a day.The small triangular space that now serves as a k tchenwas later converted intoan eating area with a pinball machine.When the diner was expanded in the1950s, several pool tables were installed in the rear. The pool hall wasserenaded by a large jukebox. Occasionally rowdy customers got into fights.Bill had a hidden light switch to darken the nearly windowless back room, a quickmethod that made hostilities cease immediately.Bill's Diner was a successful business for over 40 years. Sons, Dale, Ronnie.and Wayne, all worked in the diner. As youngsters they earned 50 cents a day.As an ambitious entrepreneur, Bill ran a printing shop across the street from thediner and also set up his brother Ralph in diner business in Reidsville, NorthCarolina. :ihile these businesses were not entirely successful, Bill's Dinerremained a stable business through the 40 years of his management.Bill died at the age of seventy one in 1983. The diner was sold to WalterWhittle for 15.000. Whittle has run the business for nearly 13 years.
