Every building is shown to scale and colour-coded for construction, with its height, use, street number and hazards noted, together with the hydrants, water mains, steam boilers and fire walls that the underwriters needed to know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe atlas opens on two index sheets of every street, hotel and named building, then a key map of the island, and works block by block along the Boardwalk and its great hotels and piers, the cottages, boarding houses and bath houses of the avenues named for the states, the railroad terminals, the ice plants, gas works and electric-light stations, and the wharves and yacht clubs on the bay side. Twenty-four skeleton sheets bound with the volume record the outlying blocks in outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition reproduces the volume complete and in full colour: the two index sheets, the key map and all seventy numbered sheets with their skeleton supplements.
