Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Willmore Hotel as shown from the ocean, Long Beach, ca.1887. The four-story Victorian complex features a clapboard veneer and three wraparound balconies. Its roof is multileveled and features a number of spires. People can be seen along the center staircase to the entrance and along the balconies, while a man and woman sit under umbrellas having what appears to be a picnic. More individuals play near a bench to the left. The hotel, built in 1887, was destroyed in a fire a year later in 1888.
