The End of the Road: Vanishing Highway Architecture in America

Nowhere in our landscape are there finer examples of America's native fold spirit than in the architecture that lines our roadways. This book celebrates the splendid commercial artifacts from the seven decades of roadside culture. These photographs of motels, eating and drinking establishments, gas stations, and roadside attractions argue for the appreciation of the ordinary, the eccentric, the whimsical, and the highly inventive nature or our commercial design.
