Property Features
A building designed by architect A. J. Greenberg to house the Rainbow Restaurant was constructed next to the Rainbow Motel on Milwaukee Avenue in 1961. Today the building houses Los Compadres Mexican Restaurant at 725 Milwaukee Avenue.
A free-form, heated outdoor pool designed by John Maletz and an accompanying poolhouse were constructed at the Rainbow Motel in 1962. A concrete block fence surrounding the pool, similar to that on the Milwaukee Avenue street frontage in front of the hotel, coordinates with concrete block accents on the hotel building.
A garage was constructed on the grounds of the Rainbow Motel sometime during the late twentieth century.
