First clue:
His name is now associated with a type of bullet (however he did not die by the bullet).

Second clue:
This place is located on the East Coast.

History of the photo: I took it while in college and began to explore night time photography. Apparently I did not leave it in the stop bath long enough and the pic displayed here was taken with my cell phone. Not really a clue to the answer but an explanation as to the media presented.

Do you know who died here?

His legacy was documented on the History channel.

Third clue

I have an idea but it's probably wrong. I know very little about pipe-shaped high-speed lead-projectile ejection devices but the only reference I can find with a person's name attached to a bullet who might've been profiled on the History Channel is Eliphalet Remington.

Ding Ding Ding...Kris got it...

After taking a look at the question he did get the answer. The place is in Virginia Beach where I grew up, The Cavalier Hotel. My dad's first honeymoon was there. My brothers first marriage was there. I spent several Christmas parties there. Thought it would make a great night time b&w photo.

The pic I posted was for my brother as a wedding gift.

Adolph Coors was reported to have committed suicide by jumping out of the top floor. That's why the clue about werewolves (silver bullet) were posted.

I guess I should have asked what place is this that a well know person died...oh well.

Kris...good job!
