Description
Photograph of a view of the wharf and Custom House area, Monterey, ca.1900. The small, sandy beach is in the foreground at center. Several beachgoers, mostly women are seated on the sand. There is a rocky wall beyond the beach at center, and a wooden wharf at right. A large crowd of people is walking along a sidewalk near the top of the wall at right. A collection of one- and two-story wooden buildings is visible behind the wharf at right. Small waves are breaking on the beach at right, and a small boat can be seen on the rocks at center.; Legible signs include, from left to right: "Emporium Fish Market", "Electro Dental Co.", and "Monterey Boating Club".
