Description
The Las Flores Inn was one of the earliest establishments in the Malibu area, serving as a last stop for travelers before the original Rancho Malibu gates at Las Flores Canyon. The Inn's famous seal tank is visible in the parking lot on the left. The Las Flores Inn would later become the Malibu Sea Lion, which went through several iterations on this spot over the ensuing decades--due to either expansion or fire. In 1996, it became Duke's Malibu restaurant. Roosevelt Highway (later Pacific Coast Highway) was so name in 1929, and the white border on this postcard suggests that this postcard was made around that time.
