    real photo postcard
    showing
    a The Twin Motel, Sarasota, Florida. –
    The Twin Motel, completed in 1950, was designed in a Florida ranch style with Mediterranean influences by architects Ivo A. DeMinicis and Frank C. Martin, son of well-known Sarasota architect Thomas Reed Martin. The Twin Motel was the first of a string of small, clean, inexpensive vacation lodgings to line North Tamiami Trail, which, until I-75 opened in the early 1980s, was the only major road from Tampa to Miami. For decades, those motels were the center of tourism in Sarasota and drew loyal guests from all over. “They were mom-and-pop operations, with terrazzo floors and colorfully tiled bathrooms,” and “Many had those vibrating beds—you know, you put a quarter in a machine and the bed shook up and down.”
    – Lovely circa 1950 image showing this early Florida motel, wonder what the area looks like now; good value here
