This sepia-toned picture postcard shows a motel nestled in the Hollywood Hills west of the 101 Freeway and north of the Hollywood Bowl. The map in the lower part of the card is oriented south to north from left to right, with the Hollywood Bowl on the south and Cahuenga Boulevard and Highland Avenue converging on the Hollywood Freeway (Highway 101) just southwest of the Hollywood Reservoir. This region of the Hollywood Hills looks much the same in 2020, except that the motel is gone, there are houses on the distant hills, and power lines along Cahuenga Avenue. The back of this unsent card names Branson De Cou as "owner-director" and boasts that each individual unit not only has "tub and shower baths," but that "locked garages" and "free radios" are included. The approximate date is the 1940s.
