The long-closed Coronado Court motor lodge, a 1930s-era Route 66 motel in Santa Rosa, N.M., soon will be torn down because it’s about to collapse, according to the print edition this week of the Guadalupe County Communicator.
Longtime owner Robert “Bobby” Serrano told the newspaper he feared the deteriorated adobe structures would fall apart while someone was exploring the property or shooting photos of it. So he’s going to demolish it in the coming days.
The motel, which opened in 1937, had been closed since at least the 1970s, and is used only for storage.
Ahhh . . . another one bites the dust 🙁
