*P3a. Description:
(Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
|
This is a two-story L-shaped stucco structure in "Space-Age" design. The roof on the main portion of the motel projects out to cover the second floor walkway (edged by a simple metal railing), which in turn shelters the first floor sidewalk. Four outward thrusting, side-by-side gables edge the roof on the Colorado Boulevard side of the office structure. A carport extends to the east on the second floor level and is angled like an airplane wing in upward flight. The mid-way support for this carport is another wing in vertical position.
A wide bank of small, pale sky blue, mosaic tiles across the second floor front of the office building forms the background for the Astromotel sign. The plastered portions of the motel are painted white, while the wooden doors to the rooms, the roof and gable edgings and the wing-shaped support are painted orange. Den Neuman and Associates of La Crescenta created this design for Astromotels, Inc. of Glendale. A second similar motel also stands on Colorado Boulevard in Glendale.
