Taken: August 31, 2005
Caption: The Stone House Auto Court
Additional Description: "This motel was built by Frank Ehrhart in 1922. After the advent of the automobile in the early twentieth century, travelling by car became a popular national pastime. The National Road became more heavily used than it had been in days when lines of wagons waited to cross bridges. Like the tavern, the stone House was built to cater to the needs of travelers. The long building has ten units with billboards along the road promoting individual baths and steam showers, plus the garage for the automobile below each unit." -- National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form.
