The Breakers: 1901
Palm Beach, Florida, circa 1901. "The Breakers from the casino." Note the horsecar and boardwalk with cutouts for the palm trees. Another of Henry Flagler's wood-frame behemoths, the Breakers burned in 1903 and reopened the following year, then burned yet again in 1925. 8x10 inch glass negative. View full size.
Circa 1905
This photograph had to be taken before June 9, 1903. While workers were enlarging the building for the fourth time in less than a decade, this structure burned down. Eight months later (February 1, 1904) the second Breakers opened.
