This is a vintage postcard image of the Crown Motel located in Portland, Oregon.
The motel was situated on N Interstate Avenue (previously US 99W), a busy "motel row" before the I-5 freeway was built.
It was built in 1957 and opened in 1958.
The image captures the motel's distinctive neon sign at dusk, which stands 50 feet tall and features a crown and a sword.
The text on the sign indicates "Vacancy", "Air Conditioned", "Refrigeration", and "Left Turn Entrance".
