Ozark Court2355 Old Route 66, St. Clair, MOPhone:
There isn't much left of the old Ozark (Tourist) Court other than a smallish white house that I'm guessing was the owners quarters. A few feet east of that is block wall with a rapidly collapsing building on its east side. GPS: 38.305409,-91.067514 These are all that remains of what was once a quite long collection of attached buildings that, based on an old postcard image, appear to have included several attached cabins (guest units), a gift shop and a gas station as well as the main building. The postcard also shows what appears to have been a detached cafe on the east end of the site. There at least seven cabins according to a news bit in a 1948 newspaper.

At
the west end of the site, close to the road, there is what appears to
have been a 2 unit cottage or garage, still standing, but in poor condition.
I'm not sure if this was part of the Ozark Court or not.

Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
