With its ceramic and glass brick exterior and late Art Deco accents, the Coral Court Motel was the quintessential Route 66 motel.

The Coral Court was designed by St. Louis architect, Adolph L. Struebig, who also designed The South Side Streamline. Construction was completed in two phases: the first from 1941 to 1942 and the second from 1946 to 1948.

Each room featured an attached garage, making the Coral Court Motel a favorite of Route 66 travelers as well as local lovers looking for a discrete getaway.

Although the original Coral Court is gone, a reconstructed unit is on display at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, MO.
