The Van Ornum Colorprint Co., Los Angeles, California
A Moorish-style pavilion, the ocean-front side, with a flowerbed and expansive lawn. The saltwater plunge was built in 1909 in conjunction with a Pacific Light and Power steam plant constructed to generate power for the streetcars, and it furnished heat for three swimming pools inside. The publisher's number on the divided back is F413. Also on the back is a promotion for the Balloon Route Excursion, then run by the Los Angeles-Pacific Railway (streetcars), indicating that this site was on that route. The card was "Published Exclusively for S. B. Clem, Redondo Beach."
