Royal Villa Center

In 1936, a motel called the "Royal Villa Cottages" was built at the southwest intersection of Colfax and Peoria.  Later it was converted to a commercial center.  If you look carefully, you can see the same distinctive blocky false front.  Now, only one tenant remains.  Even the Nick's Liquor store on the corner is gone.  It is only a matter of time until this is demolished and rebuilt.  I would guess next summer.  It is right across the street from the demolished Conoco, and across from the abandoned Safeway, and next to the now demolished Boll-e-ana Motel.
