Montgomery-East, Alabama -- 1110 East Blvd
 

Set to open in early 1968, Montgomery-South was a classic Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex offering just 62 guest rooms.

The facility was strategically sited on the east side of Montgomery where the Eastern By-Pass (U.S. 80) and I-85 intersected--it was hard to drive through Montgomery with passing it or the South location.
 
 
 
 
Even though it opened prior to Montgomery-South, the East location remained a Howard Johnson Motor Lodge later. Surviving until about 1993, its spire cupola and Lamplighter weathervane remained intact even after the unit became a Wynfield Inn.
