In 1939, Arthur & Ilda Boots opened this "Streamline Moderne" motel, charging $2.50 per night for one of their eight rooms. Through the years, the motel changed owners, withstood many additions and updates, and hosted many celebrities. By 2011, preservationists/sisters Deborah Harvey and Priscilla Bledsaw purchased Boots and started restoration including a copy of the original neon sign. In 2021, Boot Court Foundation purchased the motel from Deborah and Priscilla and began extensive rehabilitation. And, by 2023, all 13 rooms were available for rent.
This replica fits nicely on your desk, windowsill, mantle, nightstand, bookshelf, or anywhere you think you'll catch a glimpse!
We handcraft this replica on 3/4" thick wood with colorful details on the front and its story on the back in our Wooster, Ohio workshop.
See Casper? He's our black cat mascot, sitting in front, greeting those who come and go!
