Featuring a layout
not unlike the motels that Rufus Nims and Carl Koch designed,
this very early Motor Lodge opened in 1954--the first year that
Howard Johnson's began franchising the Lodges! Additionally this
early Landmark was a member of the Superior Motel referral chain.
Superior was created on 1950 with its headquarters in Hollywood,
Florida. Howard Johnson's short lived association with Superior
provided exposure to its fledgling chain of Motor Lodges through
Superior's reservation/referral system. While the association
with the Superior clover leaf only lasted a couple of years,
the original Indianapolis Motor Lodge remained a Howard Johnson's
until 1971. |
