The take

Opened in June 1931, in the teeth of the Depression, and stood as the tallest building in Ocean City until the High Point tower went up in 1971. Three different campaign research runs (1931, 1941, 1971) reached for it independently — a building that anchored the skyline for sixty seasons.
