The 20th century in Atlantic City started with a rapid infrastructure change. The boarding houses were replaced with large hotels. The construction of the Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel and Traymore Hotel was also started in the early 1900s. Edward L. Bader was elected as the mayor of the city in the 1920s. The city bought land for Convention Hall, now known as the Boardwalk Hall, worth $1.5 million at that time.
