Watercolor rendering of the Bamboo Room bar interior

ca. 1935

Highland Beach, foot of Sandy Hook

A watercolor rendering — likely by a Sandlass family member or a commissioned artist — of the Bamboo Room bar interior at Highland Beach, ca. 1935. The bamboo-lined counter runs across the left half of the composition; behind it, a mural panel depicts a tropical coastline. Palm-tree wall paintings at right frame small alcove murals of Hawaiian dancers. The composition matches the layout of the interior photographs and confirms the bamboo-and-Hawaiian-mural decor described in period accounts.
