This is the oldest bungalow court still standing in Monrovia. It was built and designed in 1920 by Sherman McQueen who sold it by 1925. The court with its 15 units were restored in 2002 using postcard to assist to make it close to how there were originally. It was reportedly named then President-elect Warren G. Harding.

It is located on Foothill Blvd between Grand and Poinsettia Ave.

This wasn't a court style motel as far as I can tell, but rather the bungalows were rented on monthly basis and at seasonal rates. Seeminingly to an upscale crowd, at least into the Great Depression era.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
