King's College:

Thanks to Art Nordin and Marie Schober for sharing photos of their days at The King's College Belmar campus.
A class in the old Marconi power plant. |
A class in the Marconi hotel lounge. The room also served as the college chapel. |
King's Kids visiting their chapel in the Marconi hotel in 1999. This was the first time they were permitted to visit since they left for summer vacation in 1941. |
Next to the Marconi power plant the college built a gym. It was finished in 1938. Some of the students helped complete it as work-study. This 1998 photo shows the abondoned gym. |
Just a few days prior to the King's Kids visit the old gym was demolished to removed soil with contamination beneath it. Photo courtesy of Charles Appleby, Fort Monmouth Base Environmental Coordinator |
