Description

Three men, dressed in suits, stand at the top of the steps and under the pergola of the Pebble Beach Lodge. The lodge and the pergola are constructed out of logs. A car (partial view) is parked on the right in front of the steps. The men are automotive parts jobbers in Pebble Beach for a meeting of the Automotive Parts Jobbers of the Pacific Coast.
The three men appear to be standing in front of a log cabin style lodge. The original Lodge at Pebble Beach was in the log cabin style, but burned down in 1917. This photograph may have been taken earlier than the given date of 1920.
