The Circle was a historic building in Portsmouth, Virginia designed by Dorothy Pebworth and constructed in 1947 - as a single story, stuccoed concrete block building in the Moderne style - originally as a curb-service restaurant, subsequently becoming a dine-in restaurant.[2]
The building's half-circle shape (in plan) featured a prominent facade topped with a neon-lit sign carrying the restaurant's name. It's interior bar featured a mural attributed to Al Hirschfeld of mid-20th century celebrities.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, the building was demolished on August 19, 2013[3] and removed from the National Register in 2017.
