I'm not sure what the original color was, for the main building. Postcards show a number of colors, starting with red all over, or striped, pink, tan and white.

I can't tell if that was replacement brick, or if the color burned off, maybe it was painted? Today this building is more of a white color and you can't see the brick at all, so I guess they stuccoed the thing? In any case I gave the corner bricks more of a pink look for that reason.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
