This marquee is for the Log Cabin Lodge in Gallup, New Mexico. This roadside motel off of Route 66 has been vacant for many years after holding the distinction of being a motor court with actual log cabin lookalikes for motel rooms. According to the book Route 66 in New Mexico, the Log Cabin Lodge opened in July 1938 and closed in the 1990's. After burning in April 2004, the motel has been demolished.
