Description
Photograph of a view of Avalon Harbor showing the Metropole Hotel, 1892. The calm water of the harbor can be seen in the foreground. A wooden pier juts out into the water from the shore at center, and a small steam ship is approaching the dock from left. Several small boats are beached on the sandy shore at left. A collection of two-story buildings can be seen on near the water at left, while the three-story Hotel Metropole is at right. Tall hills run across the image in the background.
