Hotel San Carlos - Yuma

taken for The Weekly Challenge: "Landmark Architecture" .. click to see more local architecture from around the world!

Yuma has so many different buildings. This is not 'typical' but it is very historic. Built in 1930 it was a marvel in it's time. 5 stories, 107 rooms. Many movie stars have stayed here, John Wayne, and Marilyn Monroe many times... and many more. It now serves as a low income apartment building.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Great photo, very well post processed.
You could sell this as postcard.
Excellent work.

A Classic '30s building with a touch of Art Deco. Old is in the eyes of the beholder.

Definitely a throwback to days long passed. It's interesting that they've tried to preserve how it used to look.

Love the vintage processing of this historic landmark. This could be an old postcard or photo. V.

Great processing work is so effective here to give this a nostalgic look.

Look like a building with character.

Very effective processing ...... gives it a nice "old time" feel. Must have been a spectacular place back in its day!
