The first Long Beach Municipal Auditorium was built in 1905 on the east side of the municipal pier at Seaside and Pine Ave. for a capacity crowd of 6000. A wooden-frame construction with supporting pillars, the upper deck collapsed on May 15, 1913, during the "British Empire Day" celebration. The auditorium was replaced in 1932 by the second Long Beach Municipal Auditorium.
Horses are tethered behind their carriages on a wide area of the beach close to the Long Beach Muncipal Auditorium and pier. Crowds of people are on the beach and pier in this early view of the beach scene in Long Beach.
