The man spent 40 years renting the craziest roadside business buildings in the US
The 50s of the last century were the era of kitsch-style motels, extravagant shops, and eccentricly designed restaurants that sprang up along roadsides across America. By the 70s, suburban shopping centers and interstate highways led to the fact that all these colorful institutions were forced to fight for the blood for customers. As a result, many of them closed and turned into abandoned museums of deceased culture.
But they will not be forgotten thanks to the American photographer John Margolis, who for decades has documented these colorful buildings and forever captured them in the history of US architecture.
