I had this in a Pinterest account.  Not sure if you can view it or not.  I don't know what city it's in, or anything about it, just that it must be close to your time line, judging by the vehicles.

White Castle Hamburger Shops in the late 1960's
Posted by CSX_road_slug on Saturday, January 28, 2017 8:46 AM

I'm kitbashing a Walthers White Tower hamburger restaurant to look like a White Castle of the 1968-70 timeframe.  I've done google searches but the only photos that seem to show up are ones from the 1920's (when the business was first getting started) or from the 2000's and later - nothing in between.

I know that their colorful orange-and-blue logo didn't come into use until 2001, so I obviously can't use that.  The early pics show structures with the White Castle words in fancy script lettering, plain black & white.  What I really need is to see a photo of a White Castle building that was taken sometime during the Sixties.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!
