Built in 1922; been at Santa Monica since 1947.

"The fanciful and elegant old machine with its horses, painted ponies and
chariots, lights, brass poles, and mirrors turns as smoothly now as ever,
as it is kept in prime condition. In 1990, each of the horses was taken
apart, restored, reassembled and newly painted by The Carousel Works of
Mansfield, Ohio, using a team of some of the foremost carousel craftsmen
in America."

They're dismantling (or have dismantled) the ferris wheel, this week; they
gave free rides Sunday, before they pulled the plug that evening.  It will
be replaced.
