Historical Images: Many Uses for Building at Eighth and Asbury

A weekly feature includes photographs from the Ocean City Historical Museum collection and from the modern era.

This week's "Then and Now" features the building on the southwest corner of Eighth Street and Asbury Avenue, across the street from the building featured in last week's . 

The first photo shows the building shortly after it was built in 1910 as the original home for Ocean City Title & Trust Company. The company remained headquartered here until they constructed what is now the Crown Bank building across Asbury Avenue in 1925. It was later home to Atlantic City Electric for many years.

One sign on the front of the of the building describes the services provided: general banking, title insurance, searches trusts and safe deposit boxes. Another sign touts that it was a Designated United States Postal Savings Depository. The sign on the corner states "Taxi Depot -- No Parking."
