Although the buildings were torn down a while back, this sign stood until very recently.
Colbrook Motel sign, Chester VA by JOHN EARLEY, on Flickr
During the Jim Crow era, segregated facilities existed in Virginia. The Colbrook, a tourist court type motel, was owned by William Earl Brooks and his wife, Audrey Woods Brooks. Located on US Rt. 1, in Chester Virginia, the motel was open to black travelers who could not find accommodations elsewhere.
It can be seen faintly that the sign indicated that the motel was "International" which I've been told was a euphemism for non-whites.
The old buildings were recently torn down as of 5-10-20.
