The Tower Court[nb 1][3][4] is a historic motel on Central Avenue (former U.S. Route 66) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is notable as one of only a few 1930s motels remaining in the city.[5][6] The motel was built in 1939 by Ben F. Shear[7] and was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[2]
The motel is a U-shaped, flat-roofed building with 16 units surrounding a central parking area. It is one story high except for the central section, which has two units on the second floor reached by an interior staircase. The exterior walls are stuccoed and include modest Streamline Moderne elements like rounded corners and horizontal decorative moldings. The front of the property originally included a 30-foot (9.1 m) stepped tower which was the motel's namesake, but it has been removed.[5]
