Three rotating photographs depict: 1) The steep ridges of the Appalachian Highlands presented a challenge to the fragile automobiles of early Lincoln Highway travelers, creating a unique opportunity to entrepreneurs who set up ridge-top, one-stop service centers that provided food, gas, lodging, water, scenic views and diversion to motorists struggling to cross the mountains. The most famous of these ridge-top one stops was the SS Grandview, opened as a ship-shaped hotel perched atop Allegheny Ridge in 1932. Tragically, this important roadside resource burned in November 2001. Photo courtesy of Kevin Patrick 2) A roadside gas station and cabins along the Lincoln Highway in Alda, Nebraska.
