The photo shown below - circa 1941-1943, was taken when the Colonial was virtually BRAND NEW. Ground breaking began in the fall of 1940; upon it's completion in the spring of 1941,
it was originally named the "Colonial Deluxe Auto Court" and consisted of the Office/Managers Apartment (far left side) and 10 rental units. From the information we've been able to gather, for the first ten years or so, the units were rented out as "efficiency apartments" (... my definition...) with single car garages, as can be seen in the photograph below.

Photo(s) (circa 1940) graciously provided by Morris & Janet Jones of Twin Falls, ID. Thank You!!

Sometime during the mid to late 50's the number of units increased to 20, and the name was changed to the "Colonial Motel." Sometime between then and now, a Front Office/Lobby was added, and four more units converted, bringing us to our present day total of 24 rooms, with Manager housing attached. We offer one, two & three bed accommodations, with four of those being 2 bed "kitchenette" units.
