Photos of the Cucamonga, Ontario and Catalina Island from circa 1890
These photos were found in a small town library in Marblehead, Massachusetts in a donated album. The photos were taken in 1889 by visitors to Southern California from Marblehead. These must have wealthy tourists just to have the camera and the photo finishing to produce them. Pacific Electric rail construction is referenced in the photo captions. Note the donkey rail car in action in Ontario.
The complete album is published on Picasa View all the photos click Here
Modern day visitors to Catalina will notice the missing Casino from Avalon harbor photo.
