"The
Commander Hotel - 1930" by Paul McGehee. For many years, The Commander
was the northernmost hotel in the Maryland beach resort town of Ocean
City, and led the way in service and comfort. First opening its doors
on Memorial Day in 1930, the new hotel at 14th Street on the Boardwalk
boasted 62 rooms and a full kitchen with wood-fired stoves. The guests
enjoyed the fact that they didn't have to carry their luggage up
flights of stairs...as The Commander was Ocean City's first hotel to
have an elevator! Many generations have enjoyed sitting on their
spacious front porch, enjoying the surf and the sea breeze as people
would stroll along the Boardwalk. A few years later, The Commander
expanded into a huge two-winged building, and was recently completely
rebuilt into the beautiful modern luxury hotel that it is today (click HERE to read more about The Commander and to book your vacation stay). "The Commander Hotel - 1930" is faithfully
reproduced
from Paul's original color pencil artwork as an archival
quality print issued in a strictly limited edition of only 500 pieces
each hand-signed by the artist.
