Colorized photo from 1908
Original title: The Burnet House
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: Third and Vine St, Cincinnati, OH

This was the Burnet Hotel, it was built in 1850 and razed in 1926. The Civil War was planned inside by guests Grant and Sherman. Even old Abe Lincoln stopped by twice.

There were two postcards that I could find. Both showing the hotel as a sort of mint green with beige parts. And both cards didn't show all those overhead wires. Very distracting wires. Now when I shoot photos myself, unless its a city shot, I remove the wires. And it seems they had the same idea. Probably because that pole and that wooden thing up there is super distracting. It takes away from the building. And I'm guessing the hotel wanted to sell these postcards.

If you look carefully in the original, you'll see they removed the sky and wires, and tried to white out the lines over the brick. Originally I was going to keep the wires but kept noticing area...

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...
