What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Long Beach
With over a third of homes built before 1950 and high-rises downtown, this city has no typical chimney. A house in Belmont Shore, one in Bixby Knolls and a shoreline condo each get a report shaped to that building, labeled by address and unit. The 1933 quake here led to the Field Act and is the reason older masonry gets such close reading. Near the harbor and beach, salt air speeds up rust on steel caps and flashing, with gray May and June mornings adding more damp.
