Summary
This property was developed by Horace "Doc" Woodward in 1931 to capitalize on the well-traveled Lincoln Highway. Shady Bend attempted to provide adequate services for travelers and included a gas station, a crossroads store, public restrooms, and at one time thirty-four cabins. The building is also a representative example of road-side architecture as a multi-faceted business that utilized a romantic architectural aesthetic, the Spanish Eclectic style.
