Carousel at Casino Pier | Fine Art Photograph by Colleen Kammerer ~
The Antique Carousel at Casino Pier, Seaside, New Jersey: Built in 1910, it was relocated from Burlington Island Park, New Jersey in 1932. It is located in a 10-sided unenclosed building on boardwalk pier. The Carousel is made up of 4 Rows, 35 Jumping Horses, 18 Standing Horses, 5 Menagerie Animals (1 Lion, 1 Tiger, 1 Mule, 2 Camels), 2 Chariots, 2016 Lightbulbs, and 15 original antique paintings from 1910 in center casing. The chariots and some animals were carved by Dentzel, Morris, Carmel, and Illions. The music is provided by the only continuously operating Wurlitzer 146 Military Band Organ in the state. Dr. Floyd L. Moreland bought and restored it in 1984. The carousel survived Hurricane Sandy in 2012. It is slated to go on the auction block this fall in 2014.
