The former Flamingo Hotel dates back to the mid 1950's. The 1959 AAA Tourbook lists it as the Flamingo Santa Anita Hotel. I'm not sure when it became the Santa Anita Inn. By whatever name, this was a very nice place in the prime time years of Route 66. The property has been redeveloped and most of the old buildings were demolished, but they have apparently saved the small section shown here.

The Santa Anita Inn name on the gable of the remaining section of the old building was outlined in neon.
