Windward Avenue

Looking from the lagoon end of Windward toward the ocean end.

Looking from the Lagoon, which later was filled in to become the traffic circle, toward the ocean. The mast of the Cabrillo ship cafe is straight ahead, the Bandstand is the pointy roof just to the right of it. In the right foreground is the Lagoon Bathhouse.

Looking toward the Lagoon. St. Mark's Hotel is on the near left. The south side of Windward was not filled in with buildings until around 1915

Around 1908, this card misidentifies the view as looking west. Actually, it looks toward the Lagoon.
