7525 WAYZATA BLVD.

WESTWOOD MOTEL

 

From 1953 to 1968, 7525 Wayzata Blvd. was the site of the U-shaped Westwood Motel.  A 1954 ad promised that rooms would be heated, and had TV sets.

 

Until at leasst 1965, the owner was Henry A. Walch.  Walch may have had something to do with Hoben Motors.  In 1967, the name Arthur G. Larson shows up in the tax records.
