| Additional Information: | Friendship Motor Court was constructed in 1953 and consists of 6 buildings: an office/manager’s residence, 4 individual cottages (each of which contains 2-3 lodging rooms), and 1 garage. The property also contains an original, freestanding neon sign. The four cottages are each side-gabled vernacular buildings that are rectangular in plan with concrete foundations, clapboard siding, and asphalt-shingled gable roofs that features scalloped bargeboards along the overhanging eaves and vertical boards with scalloped edges under the gable. The front eave projects outward as a shed roofed overhang designed to shelter the façade; along this elevation, the projecting roof is supported by metal poles. Cottage 1 contains three lodging rooms as reflected by its three doors irregularly spaced across the primary (north) façade; two of the three doors are modern replacements. Adjacent to each door is a 1-over-1 window. Cottages 2 and 3 contain two lodging rooms as reflected by to doors at the center of the primary (north) facades; both doors in Cottage 2 and one door in Cottage 3 are modern replacements. Adjacent to each door is a 1-over-1 window. Cottage 4 contains a single lodging room as reflected by its single door at the center of the primary (west) façade; the door is a modern replacement and is flanked by a pair of 1-over-1 windows on one side and a single-pane window flanked by narrower 1-over-1 windows. |
