John Atkinson Grimshaw 1836-1893 • British Under the Leafless Trees Signed “Atkinson Grimshaw 1880″ (lower right) Oil on canvas Canvas: 33″ high x 48″ wide I considered myself the inventor of nocturnes until I saw Grimmy’s moonlight pictures. –James McNeill Whistler A stunning, atmospheric scene by John Atkinson Grimshaw, one of the most prestigious and influential painters of the Victorian period. The artist, renowned for his paintings of landscapes, townscapes and dockyards, usually portrayed his subjects as seen by moonlight, lamplight or dusk. The palette of inspirational hues are magnificent and the artist’s meticulous attention to detail, characteristic of all of Grimshaw’s work, is captivating. Grimshaw received immense praise and acclaim for his nocturnal scenes during the 1870s. Urban lanes with leafless trees silhouetted against the moonlit sky have become synonymous with this incredible artist. Noted for the photographic qualities of his cityscapes, Grimshaw’s realistic compositions provide an artistic commentary on the bustling, industrialized cities of England. Grimshaw painted with a highly personalized style, often using photography as a compositional aid and sometimes even mixing sand with his paints to create a textural effect. He was heavily influenced by John Ruskin’s creed of “truth to nature” and adopted the detailed techniques of the Pre-Raphaelites. These influences combined to create Grimshaw’s highly personalized style, which became so popular …

If you assume that it will be around $1,000,000.00 you’ll probably have everything covered.
It’s a “no quote” situation.
It will depend on the extent of renovation you plan to undertake. Bringing a building of that size (I’ll bet it is a gorgeous!) up to 2007 code can present a formidable exercise.
You’d do well by spending the money for a survey. Once you have a clue, get prices per square foot for remodels in the Alemeda area. That’s the ‘high rent’ district (former Bay Area resident) so don’t expect a nice surprise, but if the building is worth it, your cost will amortize at some point!
Good luck. I’d like to come see it someday. I lived in Pacifica for 30+ years, back in the “day”.
Best guess? Lots & lots, arms & legs and then some! A home of this size is massive and a renovation will be a massive, expensive undertaking. However, since California real estate is climbing every day in price, you would have an interesting challenge that might net you a fortune. It could be a bed and breakfast, apartments, home for the citizenry of a small country or just the thing for some California person who buys huge property only to live in it with 8 dogs and 5 servants!!! Good luck.
