Three generations of the Lyman family have been here, at the intersection of Center & Main, in Escalante, Utah, since 1944.
The adjacent motel was constructed in 1956 and opened under the name, "Last Chance Motel", because it was the last motel available on the unfinished Highway 12 going east to Boulder.  Eventually the motel was renamed to "The Padre Motel" to honor the town's namesake, Padre Silvestre Vélez de Escalante.
