For anyone curious, the motel was not demolished and isn't condos. It still exists and is doing quite well. It was later renamed Top of the Bay, later renamed again to Bay Top Motel, which I own.
The motel was cut into 3 sections and dragged from where 4 seasons is now to its current location. After it was moved, a larger owners quarters was added off the back. It had a flat roof which leaked, so when my family bought the property in 1986, we quickly added a gable roof. Later, a deck was added to the second floor, then glassed in. Then came a pool, a house, and I got a little carried with landscaping the place to make it look like Key West.
It's always weird when I see that old postcard and realize that's actually my home. Quite a history this place has.
