Description

Photograph of an exterior view of the Santa Monica Pier Merry-go-round, [s.d.]. The ride is housed within a large building at center. The building resembles a castle with round turrets on the corners and domes along the tops of the walls. Arched windows run along the perimeter on both the first and second stories. A large tower that looks like the top of a circus tent rises from the middle of the building. The wooden pier can be seen in the foreground at right. A sign on one of the castle turrets reads "Auto Park".
