Description
This old Louisiana hotel lives in the memories of many of the citizens of Pleaasant Hill. Here is what I learned about the hotel from a book called, "A History of Pleasant Hill Louisiana" by Amos Barron. Early in the 20th century, the Atkins family built the hotel and stables. The railroad came through the town then, and carried passengers. The hotel had two or three different owners, and then the Barnhill family bought it. It seems that one of the Barnhills married a Finn, and the building became known as the Finn Hotel.
........................................
Pleasant Hill is wrapped in history. In the 1800's, one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War was fought in the area, and every year it is remembered and re-enacted. The town was once rather busy, with several businesses, and even boasted a couple of colleges.
.............................................
I would love to have seen this hotel when she was young. Adults remember the Finn as an old building without paint. It eventually deteriorated to a dangerous degree, and was torn down. I do not think anyone alive today was living when the building was a beautiful and lively stop on the railway in Pleasant Hill, Louisiana.

About the art itself: This nostalgic artwork is an acrylic painting of a plantation style hotel in a green landscape with a blue sky. The large white house, or hotel, is white with brown and blue accents.
