A Question Concerning Paul's Daughter building

Dear Mr. Coney Island...
A question concerning Paul's Daughter building: Was it built by Feltman's when Boardwalk straightened in 1939? What was it built as?
- Coney Fan

Hello Coney Fan,

The Paul's Daughter building on the Boardwalk at West 10th Street was built by Feltmans shortly after the Boardwalk was moved. The new fireproof, streamlined, "Art Moderne-style" building replaced the ornate wooden Feltmans Boardwalk Restaurant that was erected in 1923 on the site of the old Petersen's Hotel which had occupied Feltmans oceanfront property since the 1880s.
