been abandoned, ransacked, and prepared for demolition the former
Motor Lodge awaited its fate while a silent swoosh-flush toilet
had been curiously placed just outside the Gate Lodge. |

No
doubt the fortunes of the former Motor Lodge had been in long-term
decline, but its sudden closure was unexpected. Note that the
daily newspaper was still being delivered to the property even
as the site had been abruptly closed and fenced off. |

was razed around it.

Above

was in a stage of unfinished renovation at the time of the property's
closure. Perhaps the botched remodeling effort exhausted the owner's
credit line precipitating foreclosure? |
