Incredibly Phil discovered
what could be the very last Gate Lodge with an unaltered exterior!
Except that when it opened in late 1964 it had a cupola/ tower
with a weathervane, it looks to be in its original form (the
cupola/ Beacon was installed in the early to mid 1970's).
Certainly it is one of
the most interesting roadside structures--a gleaming orange roof,
two stories of open glass, topped with a spire, it is the Howard
Johnson's Gate Lodge! It became a symbol of reliable hospitality
throughout the land--a place where the traveler could be "rest
assured!"
Howard Johnson's was
"Host of the Highways"
