Update 4/21/2025: I think this place has been right in front of me the entire time. There is a mansion near M-72 and M-22 in Empire that appears to the old Shady Lawn Inn. It is hidden by trees, just like the Inn. There is only 1 tiny cabin on the lot and the place has been immaculately restored but I think I found it.
This place goes back to the 1930's and was operated by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. C. Ball. It was for sale as early as 1945. I checked the current and historical aerial photos for this motel at the intersection mentioned on the postcard and I am not seeing it. The photo isn't very clear so that doesn't help. I assume it is demolished.
