For Wacky Wednesday !
Dating from 1864 the Kurow Hotel at Kurow in the Waitaki Valley NZ is the only 2 storey hotel in town !
It is also unique in that it is divided exactly down the middle and painted in the colours of two different breweries. I could not get any more of the DB Gold coloured half because there were too many vehicles outside (about 3 !)
I guess that's called hedging your bets (or breweries,)
It has been like that for years - I only just realized it is quite odd as we are so used to seeing it like that.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Lyn, I wouldn't close my eyes in this hotel. My doubt as to whether I had chosen the correct colored part would keep me busy all night, ☺ .
Perfect entry for WW!. Thanks for the smile!

A building that one cannot but notice while passing. Interesting photo.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
It's like a dark draft beer with the body on the left and the head on the right.
Good one LE.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
I think a lot of communities have a business or two that is a combination of affairs. My father-in-law, a mechanic, owned and operated a Sinclair gas station. His partner of sorts ran a small hamburger joint on one side of the station called "Sourdough Sam's". It was a very popular place for a number of years even though the "restaurant" had a grand total of 5 stools at a short counter. My wife remembers hanging out there after school, waiting to catch a ride home to the farm with her dad, remembering that "Sam's" had a lot of take-out business. I don't imagine that anyone driving through Kurow could miss this place with a color combination like that. I checked out the place online and found an actual 359-degree QTVR interactive of the place and Duntroon Road, and in it it's interesting to see a pair of unique and identical white business places bracketing the hotel, one on each side. I think that adds to the mystique of the hotel... three unique structures in a row.
