Own a piece of Americana; Vintage Pa. motel for sale
It’s said to be the last remaining motel of its kind on a stretch of road that runs 3,000 miles from New York City to San Francisco, and you could own it for less than $225,000.
According to a report by The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Bedford County is home to the Lincoln Motor Court, which is currently up for sale. The U-shaped motel, located in Manns Choice, Pa, consists of 12 small cabins and an owner’s cabin and is one of dozens that once lined Pennsylvania’s Lincoln Highway.
Lincoln Motor Court was built in 1940, before Howard Johnson hotels, and just in time for “a post-WWII automobile and travel boom,” when few options for overnight accommodations, apart from camping, were available to U.S. road trip travelers, the report said.
The Lincoln Motor Court “was voted No. 2 in a USA Today list of America’s best roadside motels,” The Post-Gazette reported. The Lincoln Motor Court, about 100 miles east of Pittsburgh, is often booked by groups and car clubs.

Half in jest, I doubt that these buildings are insulated for winter comfort. Most likely they're good for "summer" only residence.
Kind of cute and quaint though.
