I'm reminded of Terminal Island--as I've been looking into the city residences of prosperous Angelenos, I've found a number of references to many of them having second homes on the island, in the period, more or less, from 1890 to 1910. Later, it seems, the resort types moved on and fishing and canneries became the point; the old summer houses were given over to Japanese fishermen and factory workers, and the old houses were cleared away after the internments following Pearl Harbor. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of photographs from the island's resort years, but I did find the ones above.
