Description
Photograph of the exterior of the Hotel at Ocean Beach in San Diego, ca.1890. The large Victorian hotel building has two prominent towers
the one on the left of the building is somewhat conical in shape and the one in the middle is cylindrical. Both have large covered observation decks near the top. There is a covered porch that wraps around the left side of the building and across to the middle. There are several people standing in the shade of the porch, looking out. The land around the hotel is devoid of other structures and has sand and scrubby brush on the ground. The hotel was torn down in the late 1890s.
