The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Detroit's Cadillac Square

I have an interest in this place because this is at the terminus of US-12, a road I'm very interested in.

The July 28th Shorpy old photo blog had a picture of Cadillac Square circa 1916 in Detroit, Michigan. It showed the Hotel Pontchartrain and the square as taken from City Hall. There was also pictures from 1907 and 1910 of the same area, so you could compare the photos. Also nice about Shorpy is that you can view the pictures in full size and get some amazing detail. www.shorpy.com

Between 1907 and 1910, the hotel has an added five stories and a mansard roof. The hotel has since been torn down to make way for a bank.

It was interest to see that there were no cars in 1907, a few in 1910 and a whole lot in 1916.
