Motor Inn Auto Court
19684 National Old Trails Hwy., Oro Grande, CA
Address
Phone:
The former Motor Inn Auto Court and Trailer Park included a grocery store,
restaurant and Richfield Gas Station. A canopy projected out from the
center of this building to cover the main entry and two gas pumps. The
complex is apparently apartments now.

I'm
not sure what this building is, it may be the owner managers unit.
There
are three or four buildings like this in the complex and several mobile
home spots.
Coming
into Oro Grande this is the first of two auto courts or motels in town.
The other is in the center of town and much smaller. In his 1946 Guide
Book to Highway 66 Jack Rittenhouse mentions only one auto court and
trailer park. Considering he mentioned the trailer court I suspect this
is the one he saw, the other is set back from the road farther and easy
to miss.
