Yeah, I've been up to my ears in outside projects, and haven't had time to check in; I've still got lots of photos on the old hard drive, so I'll try to get into the swing of posting images.This thread hasn’t been bumped in more than a year! We’re falling behind, boys and girls.
That’s a great topic, Rob! Vintage roadside travel courts and cabins really capture the charm of a quieter, more personal travel experience. Before motels took over, these spots offered peaceful stays with individual cabins or carports. It's a shame that many have disappeared, but it's great to see the remaining examples, whether through old photos or still-standing locations. I’m sure others will enjoy contributing their own finds too!I made a search here and couldn't find anything on this subject, so I thought I'd start one for those who are likewise interested. If there is a thread here that I didn't find, please let me know and I'll fold this thread into that one.
Seeing as how many of us here are fond of vintage gas stations, roadside ephemera, motels, vintage signs, ghost signs and the like, I figure there's a few others (besides myself) who are fascinated by roadside travel courts and cabins, and the romance of overnight lodging in the pre-motel days.
These are places where folks would stop and spend the night in relative peace and quiet, with separate lodgings (sometimes with individual carports, even), before the heyday of the roadside motel boom brought noisy next-door neighbors, revving car engines in the parking lot, and screaming kids at swimming pools.
Any vintage photos are welcome, as are modern photos of surviving examples...of which sadly, there are so few. Here's my contributions to kick off the thread...
