Burlington,
VT
-- 5 Dorset St |
| Burlington's
Howard Johnson's Restaurant and Motor Lodge complex was opened in
1962-63, and was well sited just off of I-89 on a choice piece of
real estate at the corner of Dorset and Williston. Later, South
Burlington's University
Mall
was built adjacent to the HoJo's site. |

The
Motor Lodge was constructed with only an outdoor pool, but with
the short warm season in Vermont, an indoor pool was added by
the early 1970's.
By
2015 the original outdoor swimming pool became the only surviving
remnant of the Motor Lodge.

Two
weeks after the above photograph was taken the building behind the
Gate Lodge was completed. The Gate Lodge was then demolished, and
the property was renamed University Inn and Suites.
By
the middle 2010s the site had been subdivided and all of the original
Motor Lodge was demolished. The building below became a Comfort
Inn and newer construction not shown became a Hilton Garden Inn. |

| The
photograph above was taken only a week before the Restaurant was
converted into a Friendly's. The
entrance arch was added in the early 1990's while the restaurant
was still a Howard Johnson's. FAI introduced the arch in March,
1990 when it renovated the Canton,
Mass. location. The arch motif was also employed at the following
Restaurants: Lexington-North,
Blvd
of the Allies, and St.
Pete Beach.
By 2015 friendly's no longer operated in the former Howard Johnson's
and the Restaurant on its prime parcel of commercial real estate
was vacant... |
