The view shows the long wooden Casino and Pleasure Pier reaching out over the water at Newport News, Virginia, with its red-roofed open pavilion and railings, small sailboats moored alongside, and a wooded shoreline with red-roofed buildings behind. Such pleasure piers with pavilions, bandstands and bathhouses were popular resort amenities on the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads waterfront in the early 20th century. The card was published locally by Mrs. Alice W. Morton as number 7 in her series.
