Fredericksburg,
VA -- 5316 Jefferson Davis
Hwy (U.S. 1) |
| |
Located
on the south side of Fredericksburg, the Horne's complex was
situated along with a host of other chain lodging facilities
including Ramada Inn, Holiday Inn and Howard
Johnson's at the I-95 and U.S. 1 interchange. No doubt
its bright gleaming yellow roofs attracted motorists to drive
past the Ramada and Holiday Inn!
Opened
in early 1966, the Fredericksburg Horne's offered 100 guest
rooms. After the Horne's chain became defunct the property
was unbranded as the Budget motor Lodge, but gained 56 rooms
at some point. During the 2000s it was rebranded as a Days
Inn. |

Higher
& Below: Note in the view below after comparing
the scene higher on this page that a wing of guest rooms
had been added behind the pool which helped to increase
the number offered from 100 to 156. |

Higher
& Right: Remarkably remade into a Bonanza
by the early 1980s, new success for the former Horne's
restaurant was short lived.
Seeing
its best days long in the past, the building was
stripped of its TV western themed steak-house facade
and then abandoned before finally being demolished
in the middle 2000s.
