An old (late 1800’s) Smith Premier Typewriter in the lobby of the Wheaton and Hollis Hotel in Bodie, California.
This historic ghost town, located at over 8000 feet altitude in the Eastern Sierra Nevada, is one of the best preserved ghost towns in the country. Now a State Historic Park, at the end of the 19th century Bodie was the second largest town in California (after San Francisco). As a gold and silver mining town it had its heydays around 1879.
Having visited Bodie a couple of times before, finally in April of 2013 I paid for a permit to enter seven buildings. The Wheaton and Hollis hotel was one of them. A monitor was with me and understandably I had to adhere to a lot of rules, as to not damage anything. I had to fold my tripod each time as I moved around, and couldn't touch cobwebs or dust on the old furniture.
This fine art is offered in an open edition. When ordered framed, it will have default a barnwood frame. If you prefer a different frame or size, let me know.
