Wigwam Village Motel in Rialto, California

by John Margolies

Go back to the days of the great American road trip era through the work of John Margolies in his famous photograph featuring the Wigwam Village Motel No. 7 in Rialto, California. Renowned for photographing mid-century "roadside pop architecture," this photograph captures the teepee shaped buildings, a carved totem pole figure, and mid-century roadside office surrounded by snowy mountains and a blue sky. Brings into focus the famous yellow and blue neon sign stating "DO IT IN A TEE PEE".

The print is a reminder of classic Americana, roadside kitsch design, and the famous Mother Road.
