Photograph of a view of the Catalina Harbor Isthmus, showing the wharf and Dr. White's house, [s.d.]. At left, the wharf is shown extending from the shoreline into the harbor, where several small boats can be seen. At right, a one-story home is visible, surrounded by evenly-spaced trees that seem to extend out of the frame at right. J.B. Banning, Sr. was responsible for planting these trees. In the background, mountains encapsulate the scene.
