DescriptionThere is a large house among palms and other trees, tentatively identified as being one of the homes along the Lake Worth Trail, which ran along the Lake Worth Lagoon. The lagoon is visible in the background, along with sailboats and a small dock upon which people are standing. The vantage point was probably the Royal Poinciana Hotel.
