Routley’s Motel – 1954



Think about how great it would be after a long day on the road to go kick back in the television lounge. 🙂

This place was located at Walker and Division, where the Applebee’s is located today. I seem to recall the restaurant building (the lower building pictured in the postcard below) being there until the early to mid 1990’s.

  • The restaurant building was there until quite recently. It had been other restaurants in the past, Mexican and/or Italian I think.

    My mother told me that that was where she had her first slice of pizza, probably around the mid-50s. Not something you'd find in Tecumseh back then (pre-Trevi, of course).

  • Hello-

    A friend of mine's family owned Routley's Motel. I would LOVE to obtain a picture or drawing or any memorabilia. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you-
    Lindsay McBride
