Googie Tuesday, part 10


Holiday Inn - Bessemer Super Highway

This lovely starburst was sent my way by Brian — the Bessemer, Alabama Holiday Inn, circa 1957. I find the sign extremely enticing, myself. The present-day photos of the former-Holiday-Inn property, not so much.

    Yes, sadly, googie was knocked down and replaced with redneck anti-architecture. I shudder to think that one day in the far-flung future, students of the history of human structures might open their textbooks (or boot their learnscreens, or whatever) to a chapter entitled “The Founders of Redneck Anti-architecture in the Golden Age of NASCAR”.

    “Golden Age of NASCAR”
