Route 66 Motel

 Seligman  was on the original U.S. Route 66 from 1926 through 1978, when  Interstate 40 bypassed it a few miles south. Seligman experienced its  real heyday after World War II, when returning  veterans and other  motorists hit the road and made the Southwest a  popular tourist  destination. The Seligman Commercial Historic District is roughly  bounded by 1st and  Lamport Streets. and Picacho and Railroad Aves. It  was added to National  Register of Historic Places on February 1, 2005,  reference #04000511.  The Seligman Commercial Historic District protects  the historical  central area's early 20th century commercial buildings  along Historic  Route 66, a revived popular tourist destination. Historic district  contributing properties include the Pitts General  Merchandise Store and  the U.S. Post Office from 1903, the Pioneer Hall  and Theatre and the  Seligman Garage from 1905, and the Seligman Pool  Hall from 1923.

In  1987 Seligman gained its name "Birthplace of Historic Route  66" due to  the efforts of Seligman residents, who convinced the State of  Arizona  to dedicate Route 66 a historic highway. Seligman is the first stop  heading west on the longest uninterrupted  stretch of historic Route 66,  running around 160 miles (260 km) to Topock on the east side of the  Colorado River. Pictured are some of the contributing structures in the  Seligman  Commercial Historic District and the historic Route 66. Also,  pictured  are some of the historical structures outside of the Seligman  Commercial  Historic District zone, some of which are individually  listed in the  National Register of Historic places.
