CollectionPalos Verdes Homes Association Photo CollectionDate1922-08-06DescriptionImage shows elevated view of the opening day, August 8, 1922, of White Point Hot Springs resort. Visible are the saltwater swimming pool and hotel, with a crowd of people gathered on the dance floor in front of the hotel. Located along the shore about three miles southeast of Portuguese Bend on property owned by Rámon Sepúlveda, the resort was built and operated by the Tagami family and was a popular coastal attraction during the 1920s and 1930s. Construction began in 1915 by Tamiji Tagami, and when completed the resort was comprised of a hotel, restaurant, rental cabins, sulfur-spring pool, saltwater pool, bathhouse, and a pier from which speedboats shuttled day-fishermen out to an off-shore fishing barge. The spa continued to operate until heavily damaged by the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. Photo is inscribed with white text, "White's Point / San Pedro Cal. #29" in lower right corner.NotesPhoto Source: Los Angeles Harbor College Historical ProjectPhoto Format1 photographic print (b/w)Held ByPalos Verdes Library District.
