Located
near the intersection of two main roadways into the Newport
area, the Newport- Middletown Motor Lodge opened in 1969 with
two guest buildings. Moreover it featured an all-weather heated
indoor swimming pool.
The
complex was situated on high ground with a gentle slope that
is not clearly evident in the aerial postcard views. Arriving
to the area via Rt 138, the motorist is greeted with a view
of the sprawling property and its gleaming Orange Roofed Gate
Lodge long before he actually reaches it! |
