Motel Rooms 141 and 142 — John Margolies

This color photograph by John Margolies focuses on the carefully ordered façade of an American roadside motel. Red doors numbered 141 and 142 sit beside broad windows screened by mustard-colored curtains, while pale masonry, aluminum framing, clipped shrubs, decorative stones, and dark pavement complete the scene.

The strong blocks of red, yellow, beige, and gray give the photograph an understated graphic quality. Reflections of automobiles remain faintly visible in the windows, connecting the quiet architecture to the roadside culture that Margolies documented across the United States. The photograph forms part of the John Margolies Roadside America photograph archive at the Library of Congress.
