The Esplanade, ca. 1910

A close-up view of the Capitola Hotel, the hotel annex, and the Six 
Sisters, taken as a promotional photograph about 1910. There are no 
lawns in front of the Six Sisters, and the street with its trolley line 
ran right past their front doors. The lawn area was created in 1925, 
when the Esplanade was curved out onto the beach. The tracks for the 
trolley were then shifted to Capitola Avenue, but removed when the line went bankrupt a few years later.
