Old Cottage Motel: Now completely gone: US Hiway One.

Thanks for the reminder. When I was a youngster in the 1940's we called these charming cottage complexes "tourist courts" in Texas. My grandfather bought one of those properties about to be torn down and moved three of the cottages to an adjacent lot, connecting two of them with an additional room for my parents' home and he placed the third for a rental unit in the back yard so they would have some rental income. Those were simpler times.

Thanks for your comment. I too am getting old, 60 in August, have suffered two heart attacks and my strength seems limited. But I want to continue on as long as possible. Just at a reduced pace.
These little cottages seem so far from long ago./
Thanks again
Chuck

Nice photo Chuck, it is nice to document these little cabins before they are all gone...seems sad.

Regards,
John

The pale pink colour of the walls has lasted well. This is history which need preserving on film as you have done. I know its corny but I always think that a B&W print slightly underexposed captures the "old days" better. There's always something too bright about a chrome which fails to age the scene.

this is great....there is a plastic pink flamingo hiding somewhere around that yard. Rt 1 ends in Key West...I know it well...maybe too well!
