Postcard circa 1970s: Dan Donahue
 
Cartersville, Georgia --2335 Highway 411 (@ I-75)
 

Opened in 1973, the 96 room complex was ideally sited to capture traffic as it was deposited off of I-75 onto the old highway before the Interstate was completed during the 1970s. The site retained its Orange Roof well into the 1980s.

After it was a Howard Johnson's it became a Masters Inn and then later was independent. The site's Restaurant operated as a Waffle House for a number of years even as its roof was greatly altered.
