{"product_id":"motels-of-wildwood-jackson-betz-9780764362934","title":"Motels of Wildwood: Postwar to Present","description":"This architectural diary tells the story of the incredible concentration of midcentury modern motels of Wildwood, New Jersey, from their origin in the Doo Wop decade of Elvis Presley to their whereabouts today. Not many people know that it was local contractors, not architects, who created this trove of asymmetrical, neon-encrusted motels with swooping rooflines and pink pylons, meant to attract vacationing families. This book chronicles their architectural significance and preserves memories of what many of these cheerful, flamboyant buildings looked like before they were demolished by developers, depriving motel neighborhoods of the chance to become landmarked historic districts. In addition to over 200 photos, many never before published, maps pinpoint the location of the motels, some long gone and others stops on today's architecture tours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jackson Betz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764362933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764362934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.34h x 10.31w x 0.81d","brand":"Jackson Betz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043729666303,"sku":"9780764362934","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fabb626d-4acd-46fe-aa24-766cf86e57a1.jpg?v=1684968815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/motels-of-wildwood-jackson-betz-9780764362934","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
