Alas, even as I had found the HoJo's Garden of Eden, it will not endure...Employees unaware and most unappreciative of their beautiful and final A-frame Gate Lodge coldly informed me that it was an impractical building and would soon be demolished. Who owns the motel? I asked three of the employees including a woman who claimed to be the manger--they all gave me a vague answer, and why did I care.

Apparently a building contractor, Robert "Bob" Gallo, owns the former Motor Lodge. Bob Gallo and Steven Gallo are both licensed building contractors, and own R.H. Gallo Builders, Inc. and Gallo Builders Inc.
If in fact the Gallos own West Boylston, they have ready access to demolition equipment and the last most pristine Landmark along the road will be reduced to rubble sooner rather than later.
