Prairie artist Leona Cochrane's atmospheric and evocative rendering
of the York Hotel at night gives us a haunting sensation.
Could that be Peter Gunn pausing under the light to smoke a cigarette? Is
that Humphrey Bogart strolling down the sidewalk towards the bar door? Who is
that by the door - Jack Webb looking for suspicious activity?
Of course not! Leona painted this scene in 2002. But one gets a sense of the
history of this building and the things it has seen from her rendition.
