#18: Boots Court Motel
Boots Court Motel has been part of Carthage, Missouri, since 1939, when Arthur Boots opened it for travelers moving along Route 66. Built in the Streamline Moderne style, the motel stood out with clean lines, a sleek look, and a design made especially for motorists.

What makes Boots Court special is how clearly it remembers the golden age of road travel. This was the kind of place where families pulled in after a long day, parked near the room, and felt the comfort of small-town America. Its restored look makes it a true Mother Road time capsule.
