Description: Caption: "The Breakers Hotel, Palm Beach, Florida. July 8, 1934." The imposing resort hotel shown in this photograph was originally called the Palm Beach Inn when it opened in 1896. The original hotel burned down in 1903, reopened in 1904, and burned again in 1925. After the 1925 fire, the building's owners abandoned wood frame construction in favor of concrete. The new hotel building, as shown in this photograph, was reopened in December 1926.
