As you can see, this is a mural of the former 23-room hotel built in 1893. According to the Josephine County Historical Society, it was the first hotel in the area to have gas for cooking and heating.

ReplyDeleteCool mural, I love it! There are lots of wonderful places in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteBeen to Grants Pass but not to that place. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog and leaving a comment!
ReplyDeleteIf the hotel wasn't destroyed, I want to stay at it. It's a nice architecture.
ReplyDeletethat is such an almost real mural, very lovely done, thankfully, memories of that beautiful hotel have now many reminders, the mural and here in your post.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, I feel like I could walk up to the front door and ask for a room for the night!
ReplyDeleteSad, it looks like a great place, but like you said, at least it was preserved in it's own way. That is also one huge mural!
ReplyDeleteOh, how interesting. The painting is so lifelike that I thought it was a photo at first, instead of a photo of a painting of course. But the perspective is just perfect, how amazing it looks as a mural.
ReplyDeleteOh, I had to look at both those pictures for a while :)
ReplyDeleteFascinating!
I also thought that I wouldn't somehow like to be the first person cooking with gas ... or any new technology ... just in case I didn't do it right. I guess I would have been a bit of a technophobe 100 years ago too!
Love the mural.
