The '''West Winds Motel''' is a historic [[motel]] located on old [[U.S. Route 66]] in [[Erick, Oklahoma|Erick]], [[Oklahoma]]. The motel opened in the mid-1940s to serve travelers on Route 66; at the time, tourism drove Erick's economy, and the motel was one of several in the city. The motel had a typical motor court layout with two lodging buildings and an office forming a "U" shape around a central courtyard. The lodging buildings have a [[Mission Revival architecture|Mission Revival]] design with stucco walls and red metal roofs designed to resemble tile. The motel units have individual garage spaces in front of their entrances, a style which was common in the 1930s and 1940s but fell out of favor in later years.<ref>{{cite web|last=Cassity|first=Michael|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: West Winds Motel|url={{NRHP url|id=04000520}}|publisher=[[National Park Service]]|accessdate=April 19, 2014|date=December 10, 2003}} {{NRHP url|id=04000520|title=Accompanied by photos|photos=y}}.</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=West Winds Motel|url=http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/route66/west_winds_motel_erick.html|work=Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary: Route 66|publisher=[[National Park Service]]|accessdate=April 19, 2014}}</ref>
