Bathers and strollers crowd the sand at Ontario Beach, N.Y., with a low wooden walkway extending into Lake Ontario and a steamboat and pier buildings beyond. The printed caption names the spot as the pier at Ontario Beach. Ontario Beach Park, in Rochester's Charlotte neighborhood, was a popular Lake Ontario resort in the early 1900s, a trolley-accessible destination for bathing, promenading, and summer outings by the water.
Thin white border; caption printed in lower margin; color stipple/halftone texture.
