Description
Photograph of a view from the second story of a pavillion on the Ocean Park pier, showing shops and beach houses, ca.1915. A portion of roof covered by a cloth canopy is pictured in the left foreground, four sets of tables and chairs spaced regularly under the shade. Over its edge to the right, a collection of small shop fronts can be seen advertising their wares via signs, while farther in the distance at center, an expanse of housing can be seen stretching toward the mountains. Legible signs from left to right include: "These chairs for patrons only", "Clairvoyant", "Lunch Room", "Ocean Park Review Job Printing", "Cigars and Tobacco", "Ice Cream Parlor", "99 Ocean Park Cafe. Restaurant Ala Carte". A final sign to the far right appears to be written by hand in a foreign language, possibly German, but is difficult to read.
