Hi-Way 50 Motel

This motel is on Highway 50, one block to the east of Carson Street. It is believed that Randall Wungnema was the master stonemason who built the motel in 1959. Over the years, the motel morphed into a strip mall, the trees were cut down and the stonework covered in paint, hiding the beauty of the stones. Compare the motel as it was in the late 1950s – early 1960s to how it appears today.
