Description
Photograph of a view of the Santa Monica Pleasure Pier showing the roller coaster and a sidewalk car, [s.d.]. The pier is in the background and stretches from the center of the image to the left. The roller coaster is at left and is a large wooden ride with several steep drops. At center is another ride as well as several buildings. There is a beach in the foreground at left, and several people are lounging beneath umbrellas on the sand. A wide sidewalk cuts across the image at center. In addition to several pedestrians, a small sidewalk car is being driven down the middle of the walkway. An early-model automobile is parked at right, and a tall building is visible behind it.
