The Modern Diner was built circa 1940 and was originally located at 13 Dexter Street and was moved to its current location in 1985. The diner was built by the J.B. Judkins Company of Merrimack, Massachusetts and is one of two surviving Sterling Streamliners, a line of customized, factory-built, "modernistic" diners built in the 1930s and early 1940s. The diner has had an addition to increase kitchen, storage and seating space.
The Modern Diner was the first diner listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
