Description

This handsome perspective rendering depicting the Salem Willows Pavilion, in Salem, Massachusetts, shows a two-story stick-style building at the harbor's edge, with two observation towers and a dormer. In the foreground a trolley full of passengers approaches. A sign on the side of the trolley reads "Willows". Two inset images appear in the upper corners, captioned "Interior view of Dance Hall" and "Interior view of Dining Hall." Visitors are shown on the porches and elsewhere about the building, and Baker's Island with its two lighthouses, is visible in the harbor in the background.
