Description

Columbian Motel Postcard Provo Utah Mid-Century Googie Neon Sign. This vintage chrome postcard features a stunning mid-century view of the Columbian Motel, once located at 70 East 3rd South in Provo, Utah. The image captures the quintessential Googie architecture of the era, highlighted by a towering neon sign topped with a classic starburst. The motel's modern, low-profile design and the mention of 'Room Controlled Temperatures' and a 'Heated Swimming Pool' serve as a nostalgic reminder of luxury travel in the mid-20th century. Published by the M. K. Mosley Co. of Beaumont, Texas, this card showcases the vibrant color and crisp detail typical of high-quality chrome-era printing. The scene includes period-correct automobiles parked under the long porte-cochère, adding to its historical charm. This is a fantastic collectible for those interested in Utah history, vintage roadside Americana, or classic mid-century modern architectural photography.
