This 2-story brick motel on the south side of Hollywood Boulevard was designed in February 1940 by architect L.B. Clapp for owners Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Berton. Plans for the project were made public in April 1940.
The Town Motel rooms had kitchens and offered weekly rates, catering to long-term tenants rather than short term tourist traffic. Harry Rubin was owner c. 1945 through 1960.
The building was demolished in 1973.

Had a bit of the Streamline Moderne style. I have an old postcard in its 1960 incarnation.

Hollywood Sports Cars would reside to the right (west) side of the motel site next to the northbound freeway offramp. They were known for their European imports like Austin-Healy. I believed they moved elsewhere later on.
