Tower Motel Sign in Bakersfield, California

by John Margolies

Add some flair to your space with a piece of mid-century highway history. This spectacular image was captured in 1980 by the famous architectural photographer John Margolies, showcasing the magnificent Tower Motel Sign at Bakersfield, California. Depicting his trademark blue sky with clouds, the image illustrates a fantastic contrast with an amazing tower structure with double vertical "MOTEL" letters set up high above a bright red sign with the traditional yellow neon directional arrow. And what would be better than a palm tree that grows next to the image, providing an excellent depiction of the spirit of historic California’s Route 99 area?

Great for collectors of vintage-style decorations, lovers of mid-century modern art, and fans of old-fashioned America road trips. Gallery-quality paper and perfect color reproduction.
