Historical Data	Long Beach Pier and Sun Pavilion opened May 27, 1893, and was the first municipal pier built in California. In 1904, the wooden pier was replaced with a 40-foot wide, 1,000-foot long cement and steel double-deck pier, designed by H.C. Holmes, and the expanded pier was paid for with a $100,000 municipal bond. The Sun Parlor building was opened at the end of the pier on April 6, 1905, however, the pier turned out to be too expensive to upkeep. The pier was battered night and day by untamed waves and needed constant upgrading. A series of strong storms starting on July 4, 1910, damaged an 80-foot section of the 1,800-foot pier. It was repaired, several times, and remained until it was finally swept away by heavy surf in 1934.
