Caption: "Ocean Beach -- San Francisco, May 14, 1934." View of San Francisco's Ocean Beach, with a crowded parking lot in the foreground and the Cliff House (the fourth iteration of this San Francisco landmark) visible just to the right of the photograph's center. The date on this photograph may not be accurate, as several of the vehicles shown appear to date from later in the 1930s.

No Caption: View of Point Loma Light. First lit in 1891, this light replaced the "Old Point Loma Lighthouse" that had been constructed in 1855 (see 96-07-08-alb08-225). The old lighthouse was often obscured by fog, so a new lighthouse was built at a lower elevation much closer to sea level, as can be seen in this photograph. The light was automated in 1973. See also 96-07-08-alb05-232.

Caption: "Chicago Fair Grounds, View of Lagoon from Sky Ride. No 1 Agricultural Building. No2 Government Building. Sept. 17, 1934." Bird's eye view of a portion of the fair grounds for Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition. Two of the fair's structures have been labeled in this photograph, including the Agriculture Building, a long low structure, and the Federal Building, featuring three towers representing the three branches of the federal government. The Exposition, a world fair attended by thirty-nine million people, celebrated Chicago's one-hundred year anniversary of incorporation. Originally planned to only run from May to November in 1933, it was such a success that its organizers decided to keep it running for a second season from May through October the following year. The central theme of the Exposition was technological innovation, with a motto of "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms." None of the buildings constructed for the fair are still extant today, having been built as temporary facilities.
