Description
McNear's Saloon and Dining House in Petaluma, California. I love photographing restaurants, especially when they are in cool buildings. This is a long exposure photograph, 60 seconds and processed with a color selective and finished in sepia tones.
This High Victorian Italianate was built in 1886 by John A. McNear. It is a double-sided building which fronts on both Fourth Street and Petaluma Boulevard North. This photograph is from the Petaluma Blvd. N side.
The McNear Building is a brick structure which is faced with sections of iron facade. For decades until the mid-1970s, the building was boarded up and painted a beige color which caused the building's exquisite detail to completely disappear from view. In 1976 the building was purchased by Jeff Harriman and Wallace Lourdeaux, who applied nine distinct colors of paint to accentuate the building's many features.
