This image from the Loyd Sandgren collection has no information attached to the print and I can find no signage or address to help identify this 1950’s vintage Mid-Century modern motel but if this looks familiar to anyone, please share your knowledge. Despite the lack of information, the photo is too nice not to share.

Pretty sure this is the Nassau Holiday Hotel…maybe a different name. Corner of A1A and US 17 in Yulee. The tank looking structure is gone but may have been there in the 70’s
If you use google street you can see that the front office, roof line, parking lot curbing, building lines, all match.
The Nassau Holiday Motel was built in 1975 this photo looks older due to the car in the pic.
Thanks Jennifer, Sometimes the cars in the photographs help me date the images, looks like this time it threw a bit of a curve. Bob Self/Vintage Jacksonville
I can still be the same motel. I drive a 17-year old Jeep Wrangler!
There was a motel called The Eldorado located close to or at the southwest corner of Southside and Beach Blvd’s in the late 50’s. The best I can tell from my old memory, this photograph is of that motel.
