DescriptionIllustrated colored postcard of Hotel Klein with a postmark date of September 6, 1916. Hotel Klein, at 12 Albany Street, was on the Lincoln Highway and was a stopping place for 20 to 30 bus lines. In 1937, the hotel was sold to Jacob Rosenberg, who reopened it as the Hotel Joyce Kilmer after extensive remodeling. Then in 1941, its name was changed to Rutgers House and for a time it served as quarters exclusively for Hercules Powder Company engineers and executives. It was owned by Frank Stepko of South River following the Rosenberg regime. The building gave way to the widening of Burnet Street to create Memorial Parkway in the 1953.
