This is an image of a very early ‘motel’ concept, called tourist camps at the time, which provided transient lodging for travelers visiting the area. Often these were like small apartments, with kitchens and living areas along with the more typical bedroom. Given it’s age, it may not have had private toilets and showers.
Artvue Postcard Co., 225 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y.
There is no description on the back of the card. The large building in the right foreground is likely the management offices, while the cabins are shown in a row on the left and across the background. It is unlikely this establishment still exists.
This image likely dates from the 1920s.
This was located on Joliet Rd. close to Wolf Rd., in Countryside Illinois, on the south side of the highway. The aerial photos of the area show it where the Countryside bank is now located at 6734 Joliet Rd.
Thanks very much for this update. I appreciate such additional information since it makes the posting more interesting and valuable for others as well.
