Steam & Excursion > Bob Richadson's Old Motel?Date: 08/02/18 09:25 Bob Richadson's Old Motel? Author: BoilingMan I took this just outside Alamosa 10-15yrs ago. The location seemed about right for Bob Richardson's famous motel but, if I recall, the boarded up buildings didn't match any photos I ever recall seeing.
Does anyone have any info on this? Does this sign still stand? SR  Date: 08/02/18 14:27 Re: Bob Richadson's Old Motel? Author: mt-king Does not.

Can't comment on the pot, was only looking for a pot of coffee.... Date: 08/03/18 00:23 Re: Bob Richadson's Old Motel? Author: Evan_Werkema The motel buildings were still standing as of this 2012 view, but the sign was gone:

The NG Motel had several additions made it in the late 50's - early 60's. It doesn't look much like it did when Uncle Bob ran it. Date: 08/03/18 10:08 Re: Bob Richadson's Old Motel? Author: BoilingMan Thanks Earl. I thought I had this right but, as you say, other than the sign & location nothing looked like and of the old photos you see from "the day". I'm glad I got the sign before it came down!
