Reminder of the 70's along Rio Grande 57 – Mountair Motel, Richfield, Utah

: Richfield, UT Sep. 15, 2014
: postcard maybe printed in the 70’s

Mountair Motel was located at the center of Richfield, Utah at 190 S Main St (US Hwy 89).

The structure is barely identified in the 1953 USGS aerial photo. Lee Daines(1924 – 1997) and Salome Braegger(1924 – 2011) Eaton owned and managed the motel from 1973 to 1983[1]. Their son Harold Grant Eaton succeeded the business. Unfortunately, however, it seems closed recently according to Yelp.

Mountair Motelは、Richfieldの中心部にあったモーテル。1953年撮影の航空写真に写っているので、それ以前の建築だろう。撮影時には営業していたが、最近廃業してしまったようだ。
