This photo of the old Hull's Motel was snapped in 2013, since then the place has a new name, the Star Motel as of 2018. That's another in a line of several name changes over the years. John & Myrtle Smart purchased the 12 unit Hull's Hotel Cottages in the 1940s and it became Hull's Motel. The cottages were connected to form 17 units with enclosed garages. Myrtle ran the motel until 1958.

The motel is one of several in Williams that have served travelers on America's Main Street for decades and still was serving them when this photo was taken in 2013. Construction and major remodeling or addition dates are listed as c. 1915, 1940, and 1960. It is right across the Street from Pete's Gas Station Museum.
