Caption: "Bell [sic] Isle Park - Detroit," c.1925. This photograph features the Belle Isle Casino, on the edge of Lake Tacoma on Belle Isle, in the Detroit River. The building is the second structure at the site, built in 1908 to replace a dilapidated wooden structure.

Caption: "Court House, Santa Cruz," c. 1912-1915. Image of the courthouse building constructed in Santa Cruz in 1896. The building was periodically renovated, the most extensive occurring after the 1906 earthquake, when much of the courthouse had to be rebuilt. In 1967, the county removed its court facilities to a new building. The old courthouse was subsequently remodeled, opening in 1972 as an office and retail building. Heavy damages sustained in 1989 as a result of the Loma Prieta earthquake necessitated the building's demolition. Please note that this photograph appears to be reversed, as this is a mirror image of the structure.
