Dale Kelley who owned this series of photographs originally was an old client of Albert Engel and entrusted the photographs to him who in turn donated this series, 2010-103, to SBHS in 2010. Dale Kelley owned the ocean front house at Calle Del Ribera and was a friend of Sellmers who had their factory and residence on the same street. The photographs were rescued from the house after the storm and flood of 1982-83.
