Denton House, Fast food restaurant in New Hyde Park, New York, United States.
Description
Denton House is a two-story building that combines historical Georgian architectural features with modern fast-food operations. White wooden trim and decorative details reflect its 1926 appearance, while the interior contains digital menu boards, touchscreen ordering stations, and a drive-through window for quick service.
History
The building began as an 18th-century farmhouse, was later redesigned in Georgian style, and was purchased by a major restaurant chain in 1985. Community opposition to demolition led to its conversion while following historical preservation standards.

Practical
The location can seat around 140 customers and offers both indoor seating and drive-through service for those in a hurry. Its position in New Hyde Park makes it easy to find, and the drive-through window allows for quick orders when on the go.
