Description
View along the Roosevelt Highway (now the Pacific Coast Highway) towards Malibu. The Lighthouse opened in 1927 and was a restaurant and cafe, and later the lifeguard headquarters. It marks the spot where the Long Wharf once projected into the Bay. The Lighthouse was sold to Will and Betty Rogers in the early 1930s. Betty Rogers eventually gave the site to the state, which named it Will Rogers Sate Beach. Written on reverse: "Dear Carolyn: How are you and do you go to school in the city? I suppose you are very busy with your lessons? How are your flowers? My flowers are not doing very well as they painted the laarge house and the cottages and I suppose the fumes of the paint they did not like for so many are dropping their leaves and look rather ill. But the palms and lucky plant are is growing nicely Virginia gave me the lucky plant and it has such shoots. I love to watch them grow. Write us sometime and tell us about your school. Love Aunt & U (xxx)(xxx)."
