Huge Pier Burns At Atlantic City
A 1906 built Million Dollar Pier in Atlantic City burned early today as flames roared down the beach aided by a northeast wind. The pier’s vast ballroom near the shore end was gutted, roof girders fell, and the structure closed for the winter after Labor Day. No injuries were reported. Walter Merchant and Florence, his bride of three weeks, were escorted down a ladder to the beach. The pier, second largest in AC after the Steel Pier, was once famed for its size and construction.
