Constructed c. 1956-1959, this is the local Joliet branch of the Town House Motel chain. Known for its signature Colonial Revival style design, this motel had 20 units, each equipped with air conditioning and a television. The building is arranged in the quintessential "U" shaped footprint, common in mid-twentieth-century motels. The front office is typically located at the far end of the building, rather than being the focus, which provides additional space for eye-catching signage at the entrance to the site for passing motorists. Motels also began to utilize striking directional signs to direct customers to the site. At the Town House Motel, there is both a branded post sign near the entrance to the site and a massive, neon rooftop that reads "Motel." The post sign is a cabinet sign shaped to mimic a classical pediment—a common architectural feature in the Colonial Revival style. The signs both directed motorists to stay for the evening while differentiating the motel from the others located along this stretch of the Lincoln Highway in Will County.
