Description
Carefully restored 1917 film photo of the United States Navy barracks at Point Loma, San Diego Bay, California, USA, during World War I. This unique, historic image featuring the mess hall (called the barracks) was captured by my grandfather, stationed at San Diego. He gave it to me in 1969. Every effort was made to keep the image true to the original, a small black-and-white sepia, which I scanned and restored.
Judging by the topography and other clues, this appears to be the original Naval base at Point Loma. The current Naval Base Point Loma is home of the U.S. Third Fleet and today supports the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
