1960!

A c.1960 aerial photo of the Holiday Motel and Jorgenson's Restaurant, 1714 11th Ave., between Oakes and N. Lamborn.

The Holiday Motel was opened in 1954 by Eugene Billerbeck. It was the first two-story motel in Helena (three stories, counting the basement parking area). Bennett Logan of Helena was general contractor. Several additions were added to the motel over the years. The original coral-colored buildings of the Holiday Motel are gone, but the enterprise lives on as a Best Western Hotel.

Jorgenson's Holiday Inn Restaurant opened in 1958. In 1964, an addition was built on the south side for the Viking Room lounge. The restaurant is still in business as the Crooked Frog.
