I have reservations
I look at this fine resort & think about the state of building codes and firefighting in 1907. I would opt for the downscale Hotel Jackson in the background. A lower floor, please.
Flies!
Flies were epidemic at that time due to horse dung everywhere. Probably was miserable for the people by today's standards.
A Scorcher!
I suspect this photo was taken on a very HOT day; both sets of ladies are using umbrellas, the carriages (which may have been taxi-like vehicles) are empty, and just about everyone else is in the shade of the porch.
Times change
And not always for the best. This is where the Trump Taj Mahal now stands. By the 1950s it had become the Seaside Hotel and Motor Lodge, a 10 story brick hotel and a two level motel with a pool, and the area between the hotel and the boardwalk was a miniature golf course. We used to stay there for a week every September back in the 60s.
