Mountain Lion Motel

History, Description and Photos Needed

In the 1960s, Basil Shumate's Mountain Lion Motel provided the only available lodging accommodations for out-of-town visitors to Athens. Rooms located on the bottom level of the rear of the motel were available at long-term rates for students attending Concord College.


Please contact me here if you have additional information of photographs of the Mountain Lion Motel.
