Christopher Bonanos just posted about this, Polaroid Corporation's feeding operation for its white collar employees at 549 Technology Square in Cambridge. I think it opened its doors in 1966. I would come up from Cape Cod to have lunch with Bill Field, Stan Calderwood, and Peter Wensberg, depending upon who was in town and pick up an assignment.
We usually ate at Chez Lucien in Boston (Lucien Vivas had been a cook on the French Line). We kicked around the idea of having a real chef such as Lucien take over the feeding operation but Polaroid bean- counters decided on Servend, a typical purveyor of institutional meals. The design and decor was the responsibility of Art Director Bill Field. He asked me to contribute an owl drawing and I must have, but I also asked my five-year-old daughter, Lily, to draw an owl, too. She did, and I just found this Polaroid grab shot of her. It was faded in the interior shot, below, so I enhanced it in Photoshop and added the blue marker.
