Night exposure exterior new Doric Hotel. A new convertible is parked under the large Doric Hotel drive-way roof as its occupants prepare to remove luggage and water skis. This July 21, 1960, photograph may have been used as advertising as the motel itself did not open officially until several weeks later. The totally electric 123-unit facility was built at a cost of $1,425,000 including fixtures and furniture. The Doric was part of a Seattle-based chain of motor hotels stretching from British Columbia to Southern California. (TNT 8-12-60, p. 8) TPL-9887
