Caption: "State Capitol Tallahassee, Florida, June 23, 1934." View of the Florida State Capitol building, constructed in 1845. The dome, visible in the center of the photograph, was added in 1902. The building was altered and expanded several more times over the years, until a new State Capitol was built in the late 1970s. The old Capitol building was subsequently restored to its 1902 appearance and reopened to the public in 1982.

Caption: "Traymore Hotel - Atlantic City," c. 1925. View of the Traymore Hotel on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The Art Deco-style Traymore began as a small boarding house, but a rebuild and enlargement after a storm in 1884 led to the building becoming Atlantic City's most popular hotel by the turn of the twentieth century. In 1906 the front tower was constructed, and the back, wood frame portion of the hotel was replaced with a concrete structure in 1914-1915. Patronage declined in the 1960s, and the Traymore Hotel was demolished in 1972.
