Shelton’s Motor Inn has been a Highway 30 staple for nearly 100 years
Over the past ninty-three years, the Motor Inn along Highway 30 in Shelton has seen different incarnations and many different owners beginning with E. C. Warren. According to Mr. Warren’s obituary in the August 22, 1946, Shelton Clipper, “In 1927, he built the Motor Inn Service Station, restaurant, garage and refreshment room.” Cursory research uncovered a newspaper article from March 17, 1932, indicating E.C. Warren continued to own the Motor Inn at that time as a car he was driving was left there after an accident.
