"Crouse's Motor Court- Five Minutes to Heart of City," Fort Dodge, Iowa, 1952
Add to SetSummary
This motor court was laid out like a veritable neighborhood of cottages, akin to the suburban streets of many of its customers. According to the postcard, the proprietor promised that each room was "100% modern" and had vented "Panel-Ray" heat. Cooking facilities were also available while a swing set out in the central courtyard provided a diversion for the kids.
