Color linen-era postcard of the Hotel St. Catherine on Catalina Island, California, viewed from above and across its terraced gardens. The Spanish Colonial Revival building — cream stucco with red tile roofs — is set against the steep green slopes of Descanso Canyon. An American flag flies from the corner tower. Flowering gardens and palm trees frame the entrance portico.
