This umber colored brick building has been standing strong at the corner of Fifth and San Benito Streets for nearly 140 years. It is one of the oldest commercial buildings in downtown Hollister.

You're a peach, Yvonne, for dropping in every day. I appreciate it. :-)
DeleteOh man I couldn't follow this blog fast enough! We lived in Gilroy for 4 years and my son was born in the hospital there in Hollister. I took 25 to Hollister many many times. Found you from the Challenge, looking forward to more!
ReplyDeleteHello Karen, Glad to meet ya. The husband and I were in Gilroy yesterday. I forget how much hotter it is over there. Twas very happy to get back on the 25 and head home.
DeleteHi Su-sieee .. wonderful co-incidences .. seeing Karen over here - she's a great mate. I love the word Umber - bet you're the only one using that "U" and the building has some wonderful colours ..
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
Umber's a good artist word. You might even have minerals in the soil that would make a natural umber color.
ReplyDeleteGreat building. Being a historian, I appreciate when the old buildings are kept up and used instead of town down,
