Photograph c. late 1920s by Frank Stewart, The Picture Man, of the bay front in Fairhope, Alabama. People dressed for a trip to Mobile are walking west on the Fairhope wharf to catch the bay boat steamer, while others enjoy recreational activities at the beach. While the rail tracks are still on the wharf, it appears that the tracks and trestle have been removed up wharf Hill, thus dating the picture after 1923 when the People's Rail Road stopped running. The Bayside Casino is seen in the top left with people standing on the upper porch. This picture is a black and white version of FSTC-0857, which has a sepia tone and is damaged.
