Description
The Mendocino Hotel is the only remaining Hotel from a time when Mendocino was a busy port for the logging trade. The original structure of the Hotel, dating to 1878, remains today.
It originally opened as The Temperance House at a time when the town had a population of 20,000 people (as compared to 1,000 today). It was considered as the one bastion of good Christian morals in a town of loggers. Mendocino was reportedly home to 19 saloons during the this time, and there was no shortage of pool halls and “fast houses” in town.

There is a slight air of superior, stodgy respectability, but it's a very pretty hotel. The balconies look like a nice place to sit and rock and pass the time.

I have taken a few shots of this (my son worked across the street at Harvest for a couple of years and now works at the high school up the hill) but I could never get it on a clear day without too many cars blocking the front. Stellar shot.

I'm with PJ! Always to much fog to get a good shot in Mendocino. Very crisp shot. Nice colors also. Dana
