The back wall of the beachfront cottages. The little nobs sticking out are form ties, which hold two sides of the form work together while the concrete cures. They are removed later.

Above, the shaft for the elevator piston.

An inside view of the foundation of the Ocean House entrance. The square openings are pockets where the steel beams will go.

What a view! Notice the dirt piles are getting smaller from filling in around the foundation.
