Winthrop Beach about 1885 |
| Description |
Winthrop Beach about 1885. Ten years earlier in 1875 the development of the" Ocean Spray" summer neighborhood shown in his view illustrates the beauty and appeal that turned this real estate development into an overnight success. Other developers followed suit and subsequently pressure to subdivide lots and build new housing never subsided. As a result of this unbridled expansion and the neighborhood has become a victim of its own success. |
