 Baton Rouge-West, Louisiana
234 Lobdell Highway

 

This was the third and last of the Motor Lodges to have opened in the Baton Rouge area with an accompanying HoJo's Restaurant. It opened in late 1974 or early 1975.

Scott's photographs show that although the Motor Lodge has been heavily remodeled, the Mansard Gate Lodge lobby is still recognizable.
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 Scott recalled that the current Shoney's restaurant building replaced the original HoJo's Mansard in about 1994 (It resembles an Applebees and looks somewhat out-of-place).
