Classic Historic Hotel Finds Beautiful Charm
SITREP
It's always nice to see a building on our State's Historic Register get refurbished and a chance at a second life!
THE SETUP
Always wonderful to be school by local historian Kenneth K. on the proud landscape we have in Sacramento when it comes to our city's heritage, which includes many many historic structures in Old Sacramento.
Ebner's Hotel is one such artifice that I like to imagine was filled with floors of saloons and brothels for the tired gold miner and covered wagon immigrants to stop, take their boots off, put their feet up and just take a hot bath! But that may be where Fanny Ann's is located, and not here. [I'll have to look that up just to be sure!] ;)
CHRISTMAS & CO.
What I DO know is that one of my favorite Old Sacramento stores (and anywhere really) CHRISTMAS & CO. has found a residence here as a commercial tenant (since the 2010 refurbishment that Ebner's Hotel underwent).
There are so many fun items and things to find here in the hotel now. And note: HALLOWEEN is in FULL GEAR now!
You'd think here in Sacramento that Halloween has become the Christmas of Autumn - well it has!
= Probably due in part to our local Pagan cultural influences (afterall, we have full-on Psychics headquartered here in Old Sac as well!).
= Probably due in part to the influences of Tim Burton, Disney and all the fun wrapped around "Nightmare Before Christmas!"
= Probably due in part to Shannon McCabe's Vampire Ball history in Old Sacramento, and the ongoing Zombie Balls at Knobs & Knockers, etc. etc.
Whatever the case, Old Sacramento in general, and more specifically through these hotel structures and the colorful stores they house, have contributed to the Culture of the Occult in Old Sacramento. And Ebner's Hotel is smack in the middle of all of them!
