100 YEARS OF THE SEASIDE AQUARIUM BUILDING
The Seaside Aquarium is the oldest privately-owned Aquarium on the West Coast. The aquarium opened for business in 1937, but the building itself was erected in 1924. What was the original purpose of the structure? It was constructed as a Natatorium – saltwater swimming pool – which was a popular commodity in Seaside during that era.
On Thursday, November 21st at Seaside Brewing Co., at 6:00 PM, Keith Chandler and Tiffany Boothe of the Seaside Aquarium will be presenting a history of the building; what it was 100 years ago, what it is now, and what the future may hold. They will also be leaning into the history of Natatoriums and their presence on our coast from about 1910 to the early 1930s.
History & Hops is supported by the Seaside Public Library and Seaside Brewing Co. History & Hops is a series of local history discussions hosted by the Seaside Museum on the last Thursday of each month, September through May, at 6 PM at Seaside Brewing Co.
The event is free to attend, and everyone is welcome to join in the fun!
