Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Sunbathers, beach volleyball players, and umbrellas crowd the beach before a line of private beach clubs interrupts their spread. A sign on the first wall, center, says "Waverly Club, private beach, members only". The six story building formerly was Breakers Beach Club, 1725 Promenade in Santa Monica. The next six story building is the Jonathan Club, formerly the Edgewater Beach Club, 1855 Promenade. The building furthest to the left is the Club Casa del Mar, 1901 Promenade, built in 1926 in a Renaissance Revival style by Los Angeles architect, Charles F. Plummer. It became Synonon in 1975 and then the Pritikin Center before becoming a hotel.
