Wigwam Village #7

Wigwam Village #7 on the border of Rialto and San Bernadino, California, is one of seven concrete tipi motels built between 1933 and 1950.

Only three of the seven still exist today. The tipi-shaped design (incorrectly labeled called a wigwam) was the brainchild of Frank A. Redford who created the first Wigwam Village around his Indian artifact museum and shop in Horse Cave, Kentucky. Wigwam Village #7 was built along Route 66 by Redford in 1947 through 1949. Unlike the other Wigwam Villages, this one has two rows of tipis.

I've not yet stayed at this Wigwam Village, but passed by on my way home from southern California.
