The exterior of the Bay Side Yacht Club is the subject here, with the clubhouse itself as the focus rather than the boats moored nearby. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information supplied by the Bain News Service, so the exact location and year are not confirmed. The Bain News Service was a New York press photo agency that sent pictures of people, places and events to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives make up much of George Grantham Bain's collection. Yacht clubs of that era were social centers for coastal communities, and their architecture often reflected the leisure culture of the period.
