Description

Fantastic promotional brochure, promoting the Long Beach community of Naples, situated just north of Seal Beach.

Brochure includes a detailed tract map, with streets, rail lines, lots and a host of other details.

Naples was first built in 1903 by Arthur Parson. Built as a series of island in th Bixby Slough,in the mouth of the San Gabriel River, the design was conceived by the firm Mayberry & Parker.

The concept of canals and gondolas was similar to the "Venice of America" developed by Abbot Kinney up the coast. Parson's Naples Land Company called its plans the "Dreamland of Southern California", and projected that "through the canals and under the high arching bridges gay gondoliers will propel their crafts like those in the waters of the Adriatic under the blue skies of Italy." The project was completed in the 1920s, then rebuilt after the 1933 Long Beach earthquake.[3]
