City - Victoria TX - The old Rupley Hotel 1931 - Side by Side Canvas Print

Colorized photo from around 1930
Original Title: Rupley building
Location: 208 S Main St, Victoria, Texas

This building is very old, built in 1850 or so, it was in bad shape when this was photographed. They took the picture of this building as an architectural survey, as they do right before they tear it down. Though I believe they tore this place down in the 1970's.

They gave a time range of 1933+. The license plates coloring suggests around 1931, but it could easily be 1940. The dress is casual, there are no suits, only one has a hat, so its probably later than earlier. I chose colors as if it was around 1935-40.

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...
