An Unusual Vintage Motel Postcard - the Monarch Motel in St. Charles, Missouri

This card is too unusual not to share!  It's from the Monarch Motel in St. Charles, Missouri.  What makes it unusual?  Check out the sign?  It says ZEPHYR MOTEL with a small little Monarch Motel sign underneath.  I think there is a story there!  Maybe the motel was called the Zephyr Motel before, and the new owners added their own name.  What do you think?  It makes this card really neat and unique!  It's at Birdhouse Books here:  Monarch Motel Postcard at Birdhouse Books

More Mid-Century Motel Postcards




I've been having lots of fun adding Mid-Century motel postcards to my store.  Many are from the Southeast USA (lots of Florida postcards), but I also have cards from California, New York, and Canada ... with literally 100's more Roadside Americana cards to come in the next few weeks.   These cards remind me so much of long-ago road trips ... they are a lot of fun!   Vintage motel postcards at Birdhouse Books
