The Arrowhead Motel was built in 1964 and this sign appears to be from then. This photo is from 2012. By 2014, the neon had been removed and the sign painted brown. A vinyl sign was tacked onto the panels. By 2018, the projecting arrowheads had been removed. It is now just a plastic box sign. The arrowheads are now displayed at the Frontier Auto Museum (see below).
