Photo 59A-MCL-31

Comments

Silver Swan Restaurant & Motel. I used to wash dishes there from 1974-77.

NE corner of E National rd and Bird rd. Now a Marathon Station. The old "Swan".

Looks like there are also cabins there as well so this must have been an old cabin camp in addition to being a motel.

I found this corner in a 1949 aerial photo from ODOT. It was indeed just a tourist camp. The long motel building was not there. There were 10 cabins and three more buildings a bit larger. One of them is part of the motel in this photo. Another was in the missing spot at the left end of the motel. The one in the left corner is still there in this photo.
