Description
This postcard depicts the second iteration of the Catalina Casino, completed in 1929 under the direction of William Wrigley Jr. and David M. Renton. It was built on the site formerly known as Sugarloaf point, Sugarloaf Rock having been blasted away to provide the casino's ocean view. Printed on reverse: The Catalina Island Casino, a two-million dollar "Palace of Pleasure", located midway between hotel St. Catherine and the town of Avalon. It is the only public building of its size in the world, erected on a full circular plan. It forms a colorful part of Avalon Bay. It is illuminated by night with many lights.
