Victoria Hotel, Featherston
Circa 1880

I had coloured this image mid last year but felt I hadn't really finished it

So here it is! 

This large-size negative has recorded a wealth of detail that can be seen in close up. Note the murder notice on the corner and patches of dog urine below it. The ramp leading to the doorway at left would have been used for rolling barrels of beer to the cellar. The rings on the centre two pillars are hitching rings for horses.
