The Lexington Motel opened in 1950 at the four lane Bypass Route 66 and Main St. It fronts Morris Street which would have been more like a frontage road at this spot. A Mobil station was located next door but was demolished with the opening of I-55.

The second building has a basement that looks like it may have an apartment or storage downstairs.
