Smith Point Landing & Tangier BridgeThis photo circa 1914 was taken from either a rooftop or tower at Smith Point Landing where the Coast Guard would establish their base - outpost. At this time The Smith Point House was a summer restaurant and hotel. Originally only accessible by boat, the Hedges would build a larger hotel there about 1917. The wooden bridge was only supposed to be a temporary one replaced by the opulent Tangier Bridge that went the way it's Tangier developer Frederick J. Quinby did.....south.
