Jarmilla McMillan-Arnold’s father, Dr. James B. McMillan, was the first black dentist in the state of Nevada. Dr. McMillan’s colleagues consisted of Dr. West, the first black medical doctor in the state, and Dr. Ice, the first black surgeon in Nevada.

She was born in Detroit, Michigan, to a Caucasian and Indian mother who was a professional dancer. Jarmilla’s parents separated when she was very young and as a result she was raised by her paternal grandmother who owned a restaurant in Pontiac, Michigan. Jarmilla describes her grandmother as being well-known and highly regarded in the community where she maintained her business. Jarmilla attended Catholic schools in Detroit, Pontiac, and Las Vegas.

Sign-specific description: The Holiday Motel is an animated sign that is part of the mid-century and Googie design. The color scheme is mostly a primary color palette of red, blue and yellow. The neon holiday typography is the only element of the sign that differs from the palette, but only when it is lit up. Instead the holiday font illuminates multiple colors to continue the clown theme effect. The sign is in true Googie fashion that popularized roadside signage from 1950s-late1960s. It is in the style of a pylon sign with a directional arrow that points towards the motel entryway. When the sign lights up the directional arrow uses a chaser to animate the arrow and its design with incandescent bulbs. The directional arrow surrounds the holiday motel square shaped portion of the sign. On the top portion of the sign is a rainbow design with five metal rods with circles at the end shooting out of the rainbow. These five rods when lit up in the evening are animated as well and produce a wave motion. On the side of the sign are separate white letters encased in red circles and are designed vertically reading the word motel.

Sign - media: Steel and plastic
Sign animation: Animation with upper circles/rods chasing from one to the next.

Sign - thematic influences: This sign is completely influenced by the 1952 Holiday Inn sign. Both are include an animated chaser direction arrow. The initial design is completely replicated from the Holiday Inn sign. The only difference is the five animated rods in Holiday Motel and where Holiday inn sign has a star instead of a rainbow at the top of the sign. The main difference is that the Holiday Motel sign includes a side panel with the word motel spelled vertically.
Sign - artistic significance: Artistic theme includes a circus theme, but also involves the Googie roadside sign that channels the space age landing beacon. As for majority of signs in 1950s-1960s the sign itself was quite colorful and in the shape of a pylon sign to grab the travelers attention.
Survey - research locations: roadarch.com, assessor's website
Survey - research notes: There was hardly any information pertaining to the history of the Holiday Motel sign. The property was originally called the Holiday Inn Motel but had to change its name in the 1960s due to the large Holiday Inn chain.
