The pics are labeled as 1960 "Below are two photos. One of the Pitcairn under construction. The other is my father on the job site going over the plans with the contractor. I was about 9 years old and went out to the site with him a number of times during the construction. Our family went out there shortly after the sing went up. I wish I had a photo, but I don't. My uncle ended up marrying a sweet lady from Tahiti. She worked as dancer in the Tiki room at Disneyland. See the tree on the right of the top photo? My father hated that tree because it was going to block the view to his beautiful neon Tiki sign. The property owner was refusing to allow the tree to be removed. My father would throw a few choice cuss words at the tree every time he drove by it."
