Polk Motel, Columbia TN

You see below a photo of the James K. Polk Hotel in Columbia, Tennessee. It still exists in the same location, and a search on Google maps in street view shows the buildings are almost the same as well.

ReClo, Box 306, Goodlettsville, Tenn.


The description on the back is quite detailed and specific:
James K. Polk Motel, Columbia, Tenn. Highway No. 31
For Reservations Phone EV8-4913
50 Units, Tile Bath and Showers, Simmons Furniture, Electric Heat, Air Conditioned, Beautyrest Mattress, Restaurant, T.V. and Telephones, Swimming Pool
–Perhaps most notable of all is the listing, in a small circle on the back next to the name, of a Putt-Putt Golf Course, a rare exception for modest motels such as this.
The design of the vehicles in the picture indicates this photo is from the early 1960’s
