Title	Waves crashing against the edge of a house in Redondo Beach during a storm, ca.1953
Description	Photograph of waves crashing against the edge of a house in Redondo Beach during a storm, ca.1953. The side of the home is visible to the left, a single window visible but boarded-up. To the right, a torrent of waves can be seen rolling over the property, smashing the sidewalk beneath it. The caption beneath the image reads "An angry sea invades Redondo Beach about 1953 before the new breakwater was built in 1958".
