North Concessions
The North Concessions are kind of a mysterious dream for me. They were built around 1923-24 as a grand vision of what was to come....? An Alpine Village at Ocean Beach? The esplanade already had a Victorian Architecture, but maybe they wanted a different theme? It never seemed to be developed any further. They're filled with a variety of unknown concessions and attractions - Bingo parlor, food, exhibits, Red Bug, etc.
The Musee Mecanique first opened in the North Concessions in mid 40's. Then sometime in the mid to late 50's, they're gone.

In the early years of CHutes at the beach, Private concessions were quickly and cheaply built.
