What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Hermosa Beach
Tall modern rebuilds stand beside small older places in the Sand Section, and attached units are more common than houses. The report starts by confirming whether a fireplace is original masonry or a later metal or gas unit, since the look of a building gives little away. Heat and frost hardly enter into it this close to the water. Salt and damp are the whole story, so photos concentrate on metal parts and on crowns that stay wet through foggy May and June mornings.
