Unidentified man on the bluff overlooking Morgan Beach in 1915.
To the left of the pole can be seen the trestle for the Jersey Central Traction Company (i.e., the trolley) which transverses the original mouth of Cheesequake Creek and crosses over the New York and Long Branch Railroad, and the modified mouth of Cheesequake Creek. On the right of the pole can be seen the causeway over the 1883 dam which changed the flow of Cheesequake Creek and was the main road between northern New Jersey and the south shore of Raritan Bay and Jersey Shore, the bungalow on Morgan Beach later known as Hock’s Pavilion, other buildings along the shore road next to the new 1912 bridge over Cheesequake Creek, in the foreground is Niedermeyer’s Fish Restaurant located at the intersection of the county shore road and railroad tracks, and the roof of the Morgan Dance Hall which later became one of the production buildings for Henry Luhrs’ Sea Skiffs company.
