7525 WAYZATA BLVD.

WESTWOOD MOTEL

 

From about 1953 to 1968, this was the U-shaped Westwood Motel.  A 1954 ad promised that rooms would be heated, and had TV sets.

In 1961-65, the proprietor was Henry A. Walch.  Walch may have had something to do with Hoben Motors.  In 1967, the name Arthur G. Larson shows up in the tax records.


EMBERS

 

In 1969 or so the motel was demolished and an Embers Restaurant was built.
