Regarding Tall Pines Motor Inn.

… As the nation began to embrace nostalgia and country themes in the arts, Eureka Springs began to attract those looking for less complicated, relaxing environs. Phillip and Alice Nordquest took advantage of this movement when they moved to Eureka Springs from Chicago and constructed the Tall Pines Motor Inn on U.S. Highway 62 in 1947. The Motor Inn was the first new tourist court built in that year. The owner's cabin was built as two separate structures connected with a covered breezeway. Alice and Phillip lived in one side while their daughter Edna lived 1n the other. The Nordquests remained in Eureka Springs for four years but grew tired of the operation and sold it in 1951.
