Abstract | The confluence of rapid increases in population and the advent of the mass-produced automobile had a profound impact on the development of Southern California in the early twentieth century. This study traces the circumstances that lead from the suburban bungalow, to the bungalow court, to the first motel -- the ultimate expression of the burgeoning automobile culture. The concept for the motel (or motor hotel) was developed by Arthur Heineman, who, along with his brother Alfred, enjoyed a successful architectural practice from 1909 through 1939, producing over one thousand designs for both residential and commercial buildings primarily in Los Angeles and Pasadena. Their Milestone Motel, which opened in 1925, was the country's first motel, and incorporated a variety of influences to produce a new architecture for the automobile age. |
