 People are enjoying the new
beach at the end of Elysian Fields Avenue in 1940. Note the ultra-modern life guard stand, the sleek bathhouse (still under
construction), and the Milneburg Lighthouse on dry land (below). (Courtesy New Orleans Public Library and Louisiana Digital
Library.)   This photo was taken
in 1941 from inside the Milneburg Lighthouse and depicts the midway at Pontchartrain Beach amusement park. Compare this photograph
with the 1927 night time view on page 97. (Courtesy
New Orleans Public Library.)
