This structure was built in 1964.

The business occupying this location was known variously as Rinaldi's, Rinaldi's Take Home, Rinaldi's Kentucky Fried Chicken, et al. and etc.

It later was merely a Kentucky Fried Chicken, aka KFC. At some point the structure was "modernized" and made to look more like a generic KFC. KFC closed at this location in 2010. It is now a "Wings Over Chapel Hill" restaurant.
