Scope and content
This aerial view of the new colonial style Lakewood Motor Inn at 6125 Motor Avenue S.W. in Lakewood shows the motel as it looked on June 5, 1965, the 41-unit, deluxe inn's opening day. Located at the corner of Motor Avenue S.W. and Whitman, across from the Lakewood theater, the L-shaped, two-story complex was designed by Donald F. Burr & Associates. It featured a large courtyard with an outdoor swimming pool. Although the area around it has greatly changed, the motel is still there - now called the Best Western Lakewood Motor Inn.
