The Haines Shoe House
Haines, “The Shoe Wizard,” to promote his chain of stores, the 25-foot-high, 48-foot-long, shoe-shaped guesthouse is considered a notable example of mid-20th century programmatic architecture, functional buildings shaped like objects or animals for advertising purposes. Visible from the Lincoln Highway, it has become an icon of the historic coast-to-coast road. Seniors and honeymooners stayed for free.
