Motel 51 run by Howard and Donna Spaid, now efficiency apartments. Behind is a trailer court and it appears that the pads may have recently been poured in this photo.

Now Peterson Court Trailer Park, roughly 343 North Vine Street. Looking east.

My family (William Polson,father) owned Motel 51 from about 1954 to 1958. Becky Iseminger (sp?), who lived in the white house to the south, wanted to marry me (LOL). I was born in 1953. It was operated as a hotel when we lived there. We lived in the attached house.

Hi Steve! Thanks for sharing your memories of Motel 51 and the neighbors. It sounds like a fun time growing up there! We'd love to know more about the property and the changes since 1954.
