Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of the ocean front in Long Beach, ca.1924. The beach is at center and is a wide, sandy patch of land crowded with people. In the foreground, a wooden barrier allows the sand to extend further into the ocean. The beach is bordered by three-story buildings with flat roofs. A building in the foreground at left has two towers with domed roofs. In the distance at left is a very tall building with an American flag on top.
