View aacross the tops cliffs of Palisades Park, Santa Monica, 1952

Description:
P. H. Philbin, of Chicago, a former owner of the Sorrento Beach Club building, had planned a 12-story apartment building on the site in 1953. The project included utilizing the massive concrete Sorrento Beach Club structure which had been abandoned in an unfinished state. The project was controversial, as some property owners felt that it would mar the beauty of the Santa Monica Palisades Park. Philbin may have had this image taken to document the Palisades area near the Sorrento Beach Club.
