East < GO > West

The former White City Cabins / Motel consisted of ten cabins lining a semicircular drive that looped around the back of a 1935 house, the house also served as the motel office. The Craftsman style house is typical of those built in the 1920s and 30s. I'm not sure when the Motor Court closed, but it was still in business in 1964. The property is located west of Halltown and just before CR1225 on the north side of the road.

xThe stuccoed concrete block cabins were all built in 1950, eight of them had attached garages. The two cabins without garages used that space for living space instead. Several of the cabins are still standing. The cabins appear to have been significantly modified over the years.
