Henry Hotel

The Henry Hotel in Ocean City was built in the 19th century and became one of the only places that provided lodging for African American visitors in the resort until the 1950's. It now stands vacant, but civic leaders are hoping to make it into a museum. Delmarva Public Media's Kevin Diaz has this look at efforts to restore the old hotel.
