29285. (lot 3 mounted photos) Arena Cove Life-Saving Station, Point Arena, California c.1900. Three large mounted photos show the station located in the canyon, and two views of the boathouse and launchway before and while under repair. The Arena Cove station was a modified Port Huron-Type station built without the octagonal tower because the high hills necessitated the look-out be placed on top of the cliff. Today the station is a bed and breakfast inn. Station photo measures 5” x 7”, and the two boathouse views measure 3 ½” x 5” each. Nice clear views. These photos are from the personal collection of Lieut. C. H. McLellan, Assistant Inspector of United States Life-Saving Stations. (VG). $118.
