The Belmont Hotel Destroyed by Fire

On page 380 of "The Murder At Asbury Park" we find out that Raymond C. Schindler stayed overnight at the Belmont Hotel on April 8, 1911. (Usually the detectives stayed at the big Hotel Marlborough, on Grand Avenue.) The photo below appears with a note informing the reader that the Belmont is still standing. Well, as of February 27, 2006, this information is no longer accurate -- the Belmont has burned down.
