The Crest Inn at 525 West 4th Street will be renovated and not demolished. That's a first in an area where most of the weekly motels have been demolished for a mixed-use project by Jacobs Entertainment.
It reads:
CREST INN
REMODEL. 46 ROOM MOTEL. REMOVE & REPLACE EXISTING WINDOWS, REPLACE EXISTING LIGHT & PLUMBING FIXTURES (NO RELOCATION). NO MECHANICAL. NEW PAINT & FLOORING. NO STRUCTURAL.
drawings are out of the remodel, and it ditches the peaked roof, sign and facade, which are really the only interesting things worth preserving on the motel.
