That's one heck of a sight to wake up to in the morning!

Down the road (Rt. 66) from the Rest Haven above is the Trail's End Motel (still around, but now known as Rancho Court and rented as apartments).
Apparently gone now (I’ll have to drive by next time I’m in Springfield). This city has no respect for historic buildings despite marketing itself as “The Birthplace of Route 66”.

⇧ What a sad loss. "Giraffe Stone" architecture – I've seen it, but never knew the term.

That should be a crime, in my opinion.

Almost looks like a Lego (or Lincoln Log, for us elders) house.

Long’s Park (later Memorial Park) in Springfield, Missouri circa 1925 — when camping in the city parks was still allowed. This was located just NE of Old City Hall (then the Federal Building) and south of the Greene County courthouse.
One bathroom still remains. There is a bit less shade now.

Is that an example of Giraffe Stone architecture that you guys here taught me about?
And great pics, Bob, thank you for posting them.

I think giraffe stone is only with flat surfaces exposed.
But the bathroom up above is pretty close.

Thank you and got it. So do we know what the Missouri park's stone buildings' style is called?
