The Ponca Motel is at 3101 South First Street in Abilene Texas and looks like it may have been built in the 1930's due to it's Mission Style Facade. The Ponca Motel is on the Historic Bankhead Highway which was the first Transcontinental Paved Highway that ran from Washington DC to San Francisco, California. I first Heard about the Bankhead Highway in a conversation about the Ponca Motel. The Bankhead Highway passed thru Texas fron Texarkana to El Paso and Texas has more Miles of the Bankhead Highway than any other State!
