This vintage motel was demolished in the fall of 2023. The former Forest Manor Motel was right across the street from the Munger Moss Motel and Next to the Starlite Lanes bowling alley. Originally it was called the Green Gables Court Motel and consisted of cottages with attached garages. The motel is permanently closed, but the building was still standing in 2021.

It was still a motel and small RV Park in 2012 when we snapped these photos. In the spring of 2018 the motel was apparently out of business and in visibly deteriorating condition. Before it was filled in or removed the long gone swimming pool was on this side of the sign.

The sign as it looked in 2012.

NOTE: No mention of room phones on this card, but at least they listed the business phone number. They didn't even mention the swimming pool, which would have been a major amenity when this post card was printed, probably in the late 50s.
