This post was a long time in the making. Research during a pandemic, along with the courthouse renovation project, just added challenging layers.
While this is not complete as I would like, but it is a start. Who knows, some one might see this, who has first hand knowledge. During the 1950s kitchsy roadside motels were quite the rage. The particular one is Janesville is still somewhat of a mystery. According to the Assessor’s Office, there was never a permit issued, nor were they ever completed. All I remember was in the 1970s Clyde Knox owned the structures.
If anyone has additional information, that would shed more light on this, I would like to hear from you.
