Hyland Motel
301 E Whittier Blvd
La Habra, CA 90631
An homage to the can-do attitude of architects and designers of the 1950s & 1960s, when the American and specifically Californian attitude said that man can do anything that he could imagine. Googie architecture reflected a space-age optimism that is being slowly demolished throughout the county as “progress” claims that boomerangs & sputniks are tacky & kitsch. The Orange County Googie Archive aims to document the remaining examples of Googie architecture in Orange County, while they last.

I like the old MasterCard sign attached, and then a new Verizon sign. So...did you risk venturing any further into the Motel?
i didn't even get out of my car to take this photo. i pulled up, rolled down the window, hit the button, and got the heck outta there! :P
The Hyland Motel used to be owned by Tennessee Ernie Ford.
Can anyone tell me more about Tennessee Ernie Ford owning this motel and where it was in La Habra that he lived?
