Roy's Motel in Amboy, California

by John Margolies

Travel back in time to an era of mid-century Americana through this incredible picture of the historic guest cabins, Roy’s Motel in Amboy, California, captured by renowned photographer and “roadside historian” John Margolies. Framed against the vast and dark Mojave sky and faraway desert hills, this picture captures the white stucco tourist cabins with the characteristic roof swamp coolers and blue doors.

Margolies captures the essence of America’s west country through his photographic lens in all its rustic and geometric simplicity. An ideal choice for those who love desert décor, the modern rustic look, vintage travel photography, or Route 66 enthusiasts.
