1980s Kern County California History Photo (c. 1984): Documents the historic Hotel Fellows standing in its original oil boomtown location in Fellows, California. Built in 1911, this landmark was subsequently relocated 40 miles to the Kern County Museum's Pioneer Village in Bakersfield for permanent preservation. Label text reads: 'The Fellows Hotel sits quietly in its original oil town location, circa 1984. It is now at Pioneer Village being restored, preserved for the future (a historic acquisition).'
This compelling authentic 1980s vintage documentary photograph chronicles important architectural preservation site in California's San Joaquin Valley. Discovered at a regional estate sale, this original physical print features museum-style typewritten catalog label affixed directly to the lower margin, providing exceptional historical provenance.
The print remains firmly mounted flat onto the original, vintage 8x10 cardstock album page. The reverse side of the backing sheet shows historical glue residue patterns from a vintage photo album system.
The thick cream-colored backing provides a built-in matting effect, making the set easy to drop straight into any standard 8x10 frame. An exceptional, completely untouched find for curators and collectors of Western Americana, industrial oil boom history, and regional California photography.
