This ¾” thick National Hotel is hand screen printed on the front with a short description on the back. It is part of a eight-piece series called California Gold Rush Series, created by Cat’s Meow founder, Faline Jones, in her seventeenth year of business. This series was introduced on January 1, 1999 and retired on December 31, 2003.
In 1856, National Hotel opened for business, just one month after a fire claimed its offices. The hotel is comprised of four buildings that were, during the mining days, used as offices for Wells Fargo Express, Western Union Telegraph and assorted stage and mail lines.
Look for our trademark black cat, Casper, on every Cat’s Meow. Handcrafted in our Wooster, Ohio workshop.
There are a limited number of this piece available, which is reflected in the price. With your purchase of this building, Faline will donate 10% to Amani Ya Juu, a fair-trade sewing and training program for marginalized women throughout Africa.
