View of Alder Beach Manor from dock. This June, 1924, photograph is of the approach to the Alder Beach Manor resort in Des Moines. The two-story building was constructed in 1916 and may have included small waterside cabanas. The Alder Beach Manor (also called "Alderbeach Manor" in the Tacoma Ledger newspaper) had been under new management since the early 1920's. It was a comfortable spot to relax, enjoy the resort's specialty of chicken dinners, and delight in the views of Puget Sound and the Olympics. The resort also had a big park which it planned to use as a tourist camp. In addition, Alder Beach Manor had a large garage and a beautifully decorated dance hall.
