Description

Downtowner Motor Inns brochure, 1963.

The Downtowner Corporation built its first motor inn in Memphis in 1958, the brainchild of Luther F. Matthews. Over the following decade, the company expanded to 101 motels, mostly in the South. However, with the decline of inner cities and a changing clientele, the company declined in the 1970s, changed ownership several times and then went out of business in 1982.
