The
sprawling and amazingly well-preserved Motor Lodge featured a
mix of one and two-story guest buildings. While the layout was
in Howard Johnson's fully standardized style, the early design
did not employ sliders. Nonetheless guests were able to use fully
functional patios and balconies by means of doors. Not long after
Denver was built, Howard Johnson's team of architects settled
on using sliders because the expansive glass helped to create
a larger sense of space by bringing the outside in and continued
to offer guests functional patios and balconies. |
