This is Cotton’s Motel. I grew up right up the road from here, behind the old police barracks. I found the pictures of the barracks and zoomed in and you can barely see my house. Wish there were clearer pictures of it.

The house is no longer there. It blew up back in 1980 I believe. Dorothy Cotton lived there and after the house burned down, she bought a mobile home and put it on site. The surrounding structures are Cotton Motels, just as Amanda Hairhoger states above, and those motels still exist but are no longer used as motel rooms. The gas station on the corner is no longer there, either.
