Motel Miami, c.1953

Jul 262010

Located at 4126 State Routes 5 and 20 in the town of Hopewell, just east of the city of Canandaigua. In the early 1960’s a second floor was built to accommodate the family residence. The pool is no longer there.

The motel has been undergoing restoration since it was purchased by Valerie and Dennis Calkins in 2004. We often overlook the beauty and importance of mid-century architecture, and I am pleased that this one is being saved.
