An abundance of pure, cold spring water piped to every lot. Only $100 up - on your own terms...Property that you can buy today for $100 to $1,000 will be worth $400 to $4,000 in a very short time. |
| Contextual Notes | In 1906, Stone's Landing was renamed Redondo Beach, not long after a dock collapse killed 13 people. Located south of Des Moines, it promoted itself as a recreational destination, akin to the Southern Californian beach town.
