From: Atlantic city experience.org Although now officially operating as Bally’s, the Dennis Hotel is one of the oldest names on the Boardwalk. In 1860, only six years after the founding of Atlantic City, schoolteacher William Dennis built a two-room summer cottage for himself on the beach at Michigan Avenue. After relatives caught wind of Dennis’s ideal vacation spot, more and more of them came down to visit, forcing Dennis to continually expand the cottage until it reached 22 rooms in 1864. The wooden structure of the Dennis kept growing, at one point reaching 40 rooms, until new construction was done in fireproof brick. The Dennis’s North Tower, which still stands today, was completed in 1911, while the South Tower was finished in 1925. The hotel has seen many interesting guests during its long tenure on the Boardwalk, including Helen Keller, Alexander Graham Bell, John Wanamaker, and the US Army, when it was occupied along with many other Atlantic City hotels during World War II.
