Surf Motel
Your order comes fully framed and ready-to-hang.
A vintage blue motel sign rises against the pale sky along San Francisco’s Lombard Street, preserving a piece of the city’s mid-century roadside character. Bold lettering and weathered details give the Surf Motel a nostalgic presence reminiscent of California’s classic motor inns. The simple composition draws attention to the sign’s retro typography, vivid color, and unmistakable Americana style. It is a quiet remnant of an era when neon signs and roadside motels shaped the landscape of urban travel.

LOVE the picture and the frame, it looks great!
Looks absolutely amazing in my living room !!
Quick delivery, fantastic framing, and of course the photography is amazing!
Gifted artist, fast service , beautiful picture!
Love this photograph! It has a sort of Hopper-like feel. And everyone who has seen it has commented on it positively—even the guy who came to hang it, who exclaimed “wow!” when we were unboxing it. The framing is very high quality, and even though it is a large frame, it is very solid and hangs sturdily. I was torn between the color and b&w version of the photograph, but I’m glad I went with the color version because it is largely b&w with only limited, muted color. An elegant piece.
These photo prints are the perfect accent for our apartment home and capture the essence of Philadelphia.
Excellent quality! The print looks even better in person. It fits the space well and arrived safely. Very happy with my purchase and considering adding another one later in the year.
