 Framingham, Massachusetts
130 Worcester Rd

 

Opened in one of the busier areas near Boston, Framingham had a long history with Howard Johnson's going back to the 1930s. Having seen much redevelopment and highway realignment over the years, the Motor Loge became a Best Western, and retained the Gate Lodge. The restaurant endured many insults before being becoming a Chili's. What I cannot determine with certainty from the pictures is whether or not the original Restaurant building remains.
