…but you might want to get a friend with a truck. The former building that housed Lillian’s Family Diner, located on Route 9W and Dickson Street in downtown Newburgh, was recently stripped of its brick facade to reveal a quintessential chrome-plated vintage diner underneath. The catch is, you have to dismantle it and move it to your own piece of land somewhere else. But oh, what a way level up your antiques collecting game.

Thanks to our friends at Newburgh Restoration for hipping us to this doozy of a discovery. Find out more about the diner (which might be an actual Paramount Diner. Google Image search that one) and how you can own it here. More on the removal of the facade here. Don’t all scramble at once to own this rather unwieldy piece of Newburgh history.
