The building was built over 100 years ago in 1910 and originally housed the The Healdsburg Historical Society moved into the building in 1976 and has occupied it ever since.

The bells of the nearby Catholic Church broke the morning silence, calling its followers to Mass.

Thankfully, I drew the base first, so I was still able to finish my drawing.
