A split image showing "Then" and "Now" views of El Rey Court. The top half is a black and white aerial view with scattered buildings and open land. The bottom half is a modern aerial view with more trees, buildings, and roads with cars.
The image is split into two sections labeled "Then" and "Now." Both sections depict the same building at different times. The "Then" section shows an old black and white photo of a building with arched windows, climbing vegetation, and vintage lanterns. The "Now" section shows a recent color photo of the same building with similar architecture, more overgrown vegetation, and a tree nearby. The building retains its distinct style with visible improvements in landscaping.
Side-by-side comparison of a swimming pool area at the same location in two different eras. The top image, labeled 'Then,' shows a vintage scene with patterned tiles and people in 70s-style swimwear. The bottom image, labeled 'Now,' features an updated pool area with modern loungers and umbrellas, surrounded by lush greenery under a bright blue sky.
A split-image showing a building's evolution. The top half, labeled "Then," features a vintage photo of an arched balcony with decorative motifs. The bottom half, labeled "Now," reveals a modern renovation with a similar arched entryway, iron railings, two lanterns, and a spiral staircase.
@elreycourt opened in 1936 and is the quintesential Route 66 roadside motor court, but done in a classic adobe style.
As you plan your celebratory Route 66 centennial roadtrip, remember to add Santa Fe and make your stay at El Rey Court.
