Black and white photo taken from the water, looking at the beach. A large white building is under construction beside a large light tower. Several people are getting in the water at the beach.

This view shows the same area transformed into a modern amusement park. Shown here are the WPA-built bathing beach, bath house under construction, one of two powerful lights for night swimming, and a life guard tower.

Notice Milneburg lighthouse on the right side of the photograph.
