Details: North of the Klondike
on the east side of Las Vegas Blvd., the Pollyana Inn sits separated
on both sides by vacant lots. The establishment is no longer functioning,
but is still present and standing. Inside an ornate, and locked,
wrought iron gate, the Pollyana Inn sits dark, no cars present,
and no patrons around. The closed facility sits separated from the
street by a small parking lot. It too follows the true form of the
roadside motel with its front office combined with a covered car
port, then opening up into a square parking lot surrounded by lowrise
stretches of adjacent rooms. The salmon and white alternating stripes
of the buildings exterior surface is reminiscent of the color schemes
popular in the establishment's heyday. In the cracked and broken
pavement in the parking lot, small statuary of animals adorn the
dying flowed beds, and shrubbery. Many of the plants still exist
and flourish on the property. On the north side of the parking lot
a statuette of a lion looks out onto the street and a fountain sits
next to the building. In the center of the front of the lot, a triangular
shaped, brick planter, home to bushes, a statuette of an elephant
along with the pole sign for the property. The right of the lot
is bordered off by a large non-functional, broken down internally
lit message cabinet.
