The Retro Deco Motel

 

After yesterday's accidental duplicate, here's a slide you definitely won't have seen.

Looking like a Wes Anderson film set, this image dates from 1979, but shows an older, art deco motel and swimming pool. An artfully empty-of-people pool.

Anyone know what/where?

Bonus 

I don't think we're in Germany, actually

 

Seems more like a pastiche of Bavarian hotelry.

And indeed, I suspect that this is actually Michigan in the USA>  In fact... this looks like it.  or here. Yikes. Squash City.

Bonus - Beauty and decay: inside America’s derelict movie theatres

Come In, Child. You Have Nothing To Fear.

No.  Don't.

It's a trap.

That's Ethel Flaherty, the last convicted witch of North Salem, in Montana.  Burned at the stake in 1976, at the reputed age of 476.

Evil.

Would You Look At The Pair Of Fins On That !

On, that Plymouth (?), Jeez, they're so ... Pointy.

Summertime, and a family on vacation, I guess. Pre-Fab Motel, and a full roofrack of stuff.

Bonus - What does this do?
