Having opened in the winter 1964, Cedar Rapids was the third Howard Johnson's complex in the Hawkeye State. Built in a typical classic Motor Lodge and Restaurant configuration the site was purged in 1982.


Below: Note the recycled Howard Johnson's road sign--its trapezoid was replaced but the reader board remained in place.

The Cedar Rapids Restaurant was at some point converted into a Country Kitchen and remained such by the middle 2000s (apparently the Motor Lodge never operated as a Country Inn).
