Though it has always resembled more of a traditional bungalow or ranch-style home, the one-story Eileen was the first lodging entity in the Crest to be referred to as a motel. Built in 1952, this seemingly-unremarkable structure served as a forerunner to the many 'Doo Wop' institutions that would soon begin to follow. The Eileen has stood the test of time, and remains in operation to this day.

fuzzyscorpio adds: The "unremarkable" appearance of the Eileen as seen from Pacific Ave here may be a tad misleading, as it literally does look like a single-family home, but stretching out behind it is a larger L-shaped structure that, with the "house," forms a seemingly well protected, cozy court--not quite a motor court, at least not nowadays, but a close cousin to that common 1950s style.
