evrtstudio: White Haven Motor Lodge What a sad day for Overland Park, The White Family, and all Mid Century enthusiasts. The White Haven officially closed, and the property has already been sold, along with an auction last week to sell the entire contents of the motel. Open since 1957. It brought me happiness every single time I drove by that sign.  You can read some of the stories here, here & here. On a good note, the Johnson County Museum bought the sign in the auction, and plans to fully restore and put it on display.  (photo via gtotiger68) A terrific photo of a downtown Overland Park long-standing (but now permanently vacant) tradition, the White Haven Motor Lodge neon sign.
