Coney Island, Luna Park, 1900s

Luna Park was an amusement park in Coney Island located on the north side of Surf Avenue on a site between 8th street, 12th street and Neptune Avenue. The park's architectural style was an Oriental theme with buildings built on a grand scale and over 1,000 red and white painted spires, minarets and domes. At night all the domes, spires and towers were lit with over 250,000 electric lights. At the center of the park in the middle of a lake was the 200 foot tall Electric Tower that was decorated with twenty thousand incandescent lamps. At the base of the tower was a series of cascading fountains. Luna Park turned on its lights and opened its gates to a crowd of 60,000 spectators precisely at 8:05pm on May 16, 1903, coinciding with the timing of sunset on that Saturday night. The park was mostly destroyed by a fire in 1944. Photographed by the Detroit Publishing Company, 1903-06, 1900s, 20th century.
