Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of Avalon with the harbor in the background, 1892. The city is not built up very much, and only a small number of permanent buildings are visible, including a church near the water at center. Several large canvas tents can be seen along the dirt roads. In the harbor, a large steamship can be seen at left, while many smaller vessels are moored at center and right.
