It’s a blast from the past at the Venice Library, where the Venice Historical Society has a new exhibit.
The historic, ongoing exhibit features oversized photographs of old Venice, including: a scene from the Colonnades on Windward Avenue, ca 1906; a typical Venice beach scene from the early 1900s; kids fishing from the canals in the 20s, before they were filled in; a flooded Venice Boulevard in the 20s; and various Venice Canal scenes when Venice was only a few years old.
Take a huge, historic step back in time. All photographs are courtesy of the Venice Historical Society. For information, call (310) 967-5170 or e-mail
