Description

At the turn of the twentieth century, Asbury Park competed only with Atlantic City for the title of New Jersey’s premier resort town. The "Casino", along with the Carousel House were designed by New York Beaux-Arts architects Whitney Warren & Charles Wetmore (designers of Grand Central Station).
But over time Asbury Park declined, and by the 1980s the entertainment district had more or less disintegrated. The buildings were abandoned and left to decay. Along with the carousel house, much of the concrete-and-limestone casino building and the old steam heating plant, skeletal but grand reminders of the area’s former beauty, haunt the end of the boardwalk at 700 Ocean Avenue. Some the casino’s original polished terrazzo and plasterwork are still visible.
