This looks like the hotel we passed driving west on Route 30 to get to the Valley View Restaurant which was located just east of Wolf Road.We went to Valley View to see the rock bands that played there.This Abe Lincoln Motel was on the south side of the street,I would have to say between La Grange Rd. & Wolf Road.

From a postcard — ABE LINCOLN MOTEL — U.S. Rt 30 -- just 9 Miles East of Joliet, Ill. at Frankfort, Illinois. Tel. area code 815, 469-5114. 12 deluxe air conditioned units. Radiant Heat. Free room television. Wall to Wall Carpeting. Beautyrest mattresses. Kitchen apartments. Ceramic tile showers and tubs. Restaurants and swimming pool available. 10841 West Lincoln Highway. Today, 2020, this is a vacant lot, as the building was torn down mid-2017. Looking south.
