As usual you can leave a link to your Mid-Century Photo Friday in the comments.

Mid-Century Photo Friday: Wyoming Motel, Cheyenne

The Wyoming Motel in Cheyenne Wyoming If you’re interested in adding someplace you stayed to our Mid-Century Motels listings or if you are the owner of a motel you would like to be listed please email us.
