The record — long form
The Biltmore is the 13th — the '29 gangster shooting that made the ghost, the Fatty Walsh who still prowls. The hospital was the war — the '42 military conversion that sealed the windows, the '68 closure that left it abandoned. The pool was the largest — the world-record swims that it held, the Johnny Weissmuller who trained.
The Merrick was the founder — the Friday the 13th groundbreaking, the land bust that followed. The restoration was the '83 — the $55 million that Coral Gables spent, the '87 reopening. The Biltmore is the survivor — the hurricane, the bust, the hospital, the ghost.
The file keeps the Biltmore: the 1926 opening, the '29 Walsh murder, the WWII hospital, and the '87 restoration.
The Biltmore is the archive's Coral Gables file — the 13th floor's ghost.
