The Bay View House, later known as the Peacock Inn, was the earliest hotel in the Bay area as of 1882. The inn was owned by English settlers, Charles and Isabella Peacock who maitained it until 1902. Ralph Munroe was a frequent winter visitor and friend of the family. The Peacock Inn became a gathering place for a faithfull group of Nothern visitors. The Commodore opened Camp Biscayne after the inn closed (due to Mr. & Mrs. Peacocks ill health) to provide new accomodations for those who still wished to vacation to South Florida. The series includes photographs of the various cottages as well as the native plants and trees of hammocks. The promotional materials include flyers and brochures describing the Biscayne Bay area, the favorable climate and the its suitability for boating and fishing.
