Before Top of the East

Date:

The Monmouth County Archives is just one of the great resources we residents of Monmouth County have at our fingertips and County Clerk Christine Hanlon does a superb job in ensuring it’s the highest quality she expects from all divisions under her office.

 

Bill Osborn is one of those highest quality employees who maintains those very high standards because he not only loves his work, and loves to share its value, but also has a fantastic memory for items in the archives and stories of today.

 

As a result of all that, and thanks to the Archives’ collection of spectacular photos from the Red Bank Register, here’s another photo to interest those who are reading about the start of Top of the East. This is the scale model on display 50 years ago showing the luxury built into that 14 story high rise directly on the top of the highest peak between Maine and Florida directly on the coast.
