A large number of interesting urban exploration 'nooks and crannies' exist within Gasoline Alley as a result of failed businesses. This motel, although somewhat decrepit looking now, most likely offered a clean and affordable overnight accommodations for travelers. It appears that a restaurant may have also been operating .back in the day'.
Another business (possibly a landscaper) now occupies the front restaurant portion of the building and it is obvious that the owner attempted to redevelop the motel portion evidenced by new doorways now joining most the rooms.
One method an explorer may use to attempt to put a date the building is by having a look at the bathroom fixtures. It is a fairly rare day to find intact fixtures at a location. Either through renovations or the thoughtless inconsiderations of vandals, most fixtures are removed or broken.
