If she could talk
What tales she’d tell.
Of weary travelers.
If she could speak
She might tell us
Of ladies and gentlemen.
If we listen
We still can hear.
She speaks of days of old.
‘though days are past
Her word are clear.
The words of yesteryear.

The backstory:
The Pinney House is a Historically preserved and renovated Victorian Mansion that was built originally as a Railroad Hotel in 1887. Built by Samuel and Joseph Cather Newsom the Queen Anne-style structure was commissioned as a thirty-room hotel by former Civil War surgeon Dr. Elbert Pinney to accommodate East Coasters arriving in droves to buy up property during the Los Angeles land boom of 1885-1888. Over the years, its various functions have included sanatorium, boarding house, ballroom dance studio, apartment complex, and film location.
