Merced / downtown (# 2536) Just another view of downtown Merced
Merced / Bank of Italy building (# 2537) Built in 1928 as the Bank of Italy building, seemingly fairly ornate for downtown Merced. It’s been through many name changes including the early change from Bank of Italy to Bank of America, and then most recently to Merced County Office of Education.
Merced / El Capitan classic neon (# 2540) An original neon sign (refurbished) from the original hotel El Capitan.
Merced / El Capitan hotel (# 2529) One of my reasons for exploring through Merced was some recent stories about the reopening of an historic hotel in downtown Merced – the El Capitan. Per the Merced County Times story, the hotel was constructed in 1911, suffered a major fire in 1931, a remodeling in 1936, and then a very major remodeling in 2018. The hotel is now part of a chain in the Hyatt system designed for boutique hotels. As this and other pictures suggest, downtown Merced was very orderly and attractive. The streets were most likely quiet because Merced is now the home of University of California Merced (opened in 2005) and this was taken on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. <a href="https://elcapitanhotelmerced.com/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">elcapitanhotelmerced.com/</a> <a href="https://mercedcountytimes.com/remodeling-is-nearly-complete-on-historic-el-capitan-hotel/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">mercedcountytimes.com/remodeling-is-nearly-complete-on-hi...</a>
Merced / The Tioga (# 2527) An impressive art deco building, the Hotel Tioga was built in 1928. Before and after the war (WWII), it was the place for prominent politicians and entertainers to stay, though it started to decline in the 1980’s. It’s interior has since been remodeled into 70 apartments aimed at professionals and students at nearby UC Merced.

Merced / Mainzer theater/event space (# 2530) Built in the 1920’s, per the Wikipedia entry, it apparently struggled through a fire in the 1930’s and changes in viewership over the years, and it is now an event space with a stage, cafes, games, and a movie space.
