Whether they’re visiting for the fine foods, the scenic accommodations, or to explore the rugged back country, there’s a unique draw to the Island that captures the imagination of all who’ve set foot here. While everyone’s adventure here is different, there’s one thing everyone can agree on - this island has style. We’ve been invited on an exclusive and extensive behind the scenes tour of three of the most iconic structures on Catalina Island in California. These buildings feature unique architecture, building methods, and perfectly preserved antique machinery that we will explore up close and personal. First, we’re visiting the Catalina Island Casino, the largest building on the island and one of the most iconic waterfront structures on the West Coast. Then, we’re climbing up to the Avalon Chime Tower to play the mechanism for ourselves. Lastly, it’s off to the Wrigley Memorial and Botanical Gardens to end our day and our adventure. - - - - This is a huge deviation from the type of videos I usually make on my channel, but this was a commissioned project. In 2022, I was brought out to Catalina Island, California, to document some of the island's 1920's and 1930's iconic landmarks, getting access to some of the deepest parts to uncover the history and really dive into the architectural elements of these buildings. If you enjoy classic architecture, you'll enjoy this one.
