Motel in Detroit, IL. IL 106 and 100 corner.

Detroit. Built as the Dissman Motel in 1950. It was later Riley's Motel and The Villager. Also, the Detroit Cafe can be seen. It was later The Barn. The old restaurant is still standing. The motel is gone.

Riley's Motel, Detroit Café, and a Food Mart, junction of U. S. Route 36 and 54, and Illinois State Route 100, Detroit, Illinois. View looks northwest. Note the DX station in the lower left corner of the photo. I have placed the pin in the correct location.
