Taken Mch 8 -24 when we accompanied the Sargents of Columbus, Oh. to Cataline I'd on the steamship Avalon This scene was snapped while we were motoring about "seeing things" on the famous Island, and just after Wm Wriggley his wife and chaffeur had met us going up to look at his $166,00. new home on a high hill, at the eastern edge of Avalon. I believe it is a French style (partially at least) of architecture, not at all pretty from the village, but more attractive as you get nearer on a level with it. The steep sloping hillside is terraced and covered with verbenas, daisies and altogether some five hundred (odd) species of the flower kingdom in the seven acres. 35 more acres are to be added and planted with reg geraniums as a memorial to the late Pres. Harding who was to have been a guest of the Wriggleys the very night of his death. Front of picture: Avalon - Avalon Bay - Catalina Id.
