A
four floor 110 guest room modern Mansard Manor, Danvers
opened in the middle 1970s during a flurry of expansion
and remained a Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge until 1992.
Subsequently
the property became a Motel 6. A September 19, 2015 check
on the Motel
6 website
indicated that the motel was "sold out" for room
bookings--most likely meaning that the property had lost
its status as a Motel 6. |

What
we have here is a completely intact Mansard roof complex,
though the restaurant entrance has been heavily altered.
The restaurant last served as Brutole Restaurant, but
it is now closed. You can even see some orange bleeding
through the now peeling urban white paint coat, which
is a tell-tale sign of its former life. |

The
site's attached Restaurant may have been converted into a Ground
Round after only a brief stint as a Howard Johnson's Restaurant
in the 1970s. Then during the Motor Lodge's waning days as a HoJo's
in the early 1990s, the restaurant was operated as Thackeray's Table
and Tap Restaurant and Lounge.
At
some point the once Orange Mansard Roofed Restaurant became Brutole
Restaurant. The Italian themed eatery was closed without warning
on Feb. 5, 2014--its owners had failed to pay the town a $4,600
liquor license fee, and were nearly $12,000 in arrears for electric
and water utilities. As of September 2015 the Restaurant remained
vacant. |
