Fish Creek Harbor

Image

Elevated view of Fish Creek from the east; the bluff rises on the left, the harbor is on the right. The cottage in the foreground with pergola and lattice is the photographer's first Fish Creek Cottage. The two paired buildings on the waterfront were bathhouses and boathouses for the Thorp and Welcker resorts. The Welcker Casino is the largest building, with a dark gable, in the background.
