Artifact Overview

Consistent, quality service and amenities made the first Holiday Inns successful in the 1950s. Though the company evolved in the decades that followed, it retained many founding features. In the 1980s, this Holiday Inn sported a modernized corporate logo, but still offered the convenient location, free parking, and outdoor pool that were standard at the chain's first motels.
