Scope and content
ca. 1905. Copy made from glass plate, Richards Studio. People dressed more formally during the early part of the last century, even for a day at the beach. Women are strolling on sandy Owen Beach with hats, outfits that sweep the ground, folded umbrellas and handbags. Men wearing suits and hats are lounging on the bare sand. Even little children have on proper dresses and the ever present hat. In the background, crowds line the pier extending into the water; the Point Defiance Pavillion is adjacent to the pier. Copy made from glass plate on October 3, 1958.
