Warrenton, Virginia -- 6 (20) Broadview Ave 
 
The Warrenton Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex opened in 1966, and by the middle 2000s had become one of the last three original Howard Johnson's Motor Lodges in all of Virginia. Moreover it became the last of the classically configured roadside type Motor Lodge in the state.

The last Gate Lodge at a Howard Johnson's in Virginia--note the railing in the photograph below. A somewhat unusual feature, the Gate Lodge was built with a basement entered by a stairwell marked by the railing!
