Property Features
This one-story, rectangular, side-gabled motel contains approximately twelve units. The roof slightly extends beyond the
primary (west) elevation and is supported with squared posts. A one-story, front-gabled wing located toward the center
of the building contains the motel office. Sheathed with asbestos shingles, the motel features one-over-one, wood sash
windows and three-light, modern doors. A circa 1980 sign affixed to a metal post that simply reads "Motel" is located just
north of the building.
Constructed in 1950, the motel takes its name - "King's Motel" - from the King family that established and operated it.
Changes to the motel over time include the addition of three rooms on the north end of the building in the 1960s.
Furthermore, the motel originally featured vertical wood siding, which has since been covered with asbestos shingles.
