This article from a 1921 brochure.  It deals with the dedication of the Bradley statue located in Atlantic Park (the Park in front of the Paramount Theater). 

My favorite part is a quote from the author, Henry Winsor.

"The possibilities of the city are very great, and the next
twenty-five years will show a wonderful change in the class of buildings which will be erected." (1921)

Asbury Park's one-time historian, Werner Baumgartner, points out that Mr. Winsor Predicted that correctly !

- The Electric Co. Building (601 Bangs)
- Berkley Carteret Hotel (1929)
- Convention Hall /Paramount Theater 
- The "New" Casino/Heating Plant
- The Mayfair Theater
- The Albion Hotel
- The Santander
-.....etc.
Werner further points out that Henry C. Winsor was President of the Asbury Park & Ocean Grove Bank and is credited as having spearheaded the fund raising efforts for the Bradley Statue.

That Bank was a major economic force in the development of this area The building (the second one) still exists across from City Hall and is occupied by Sovereign Bank today.

Winsor was also a developer, responsible for the building on Main
Street across from the Post Office. (NE corner of Main and Bangs)

Known as the Winsor Building, a commercial/residential structure, it
is listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
