"Ocean City from the Pier - 1965" by Paul McGehee. Ocean City, Maryland is one of the best beach towns on the East Coast. Surf, sand, and the boardwalk lined with hotels, shops and eateries, with a wonderful amusement park at the southern end. This 1965 view looks north up the beach as viewed from the Fishing Pier off of Wicomico Street. The building to the left with the red roof is the Ocean City Life Saving Station, in its original location on Caroline Street. It was later moved down the boardwalk all the way to to the southern end, and now serves as the town's museum. The distinctive cupola dome of the old Plimhimmon Hotel, which burned to the ground in 1962, can be seen resting atop the newly built (1963) Plim Plaza Hotel at 2nd Street in the middle of the scene. To the left of the Plim is the Colonial Hotel. To the right of the Plim is the two-level apartment building which was later to become Ocean Gallery. The length of the boardwalk can be seen all the way to the north on this clear, sunny summer day. Most of the older hotels depicted are now gone, replaced by more modern...and taller...structures. This peaceful scene reminds us of the way Ocean City used to be mid-century, and is pure nostalgia. Listen to the waves roll in...and the laughter of the seagulls.
