About This

Dates:: 1930 — 1960
Photo:: This early postcard from Jones Beach, one of Robert Moses’ first projects, depicts a crowd of bathers enjoying two large swimming pools. While this image depicts Jones Beach as a site for the masses, Moses had something more exclusive in mind. He specifically designed the parkways leading to Jones’ Beach to be inaccessible to buses, making it difficult for the working classes, who lacked private automobiles, to visit the beach.
