South Side | Fine Art Photograph
Detailed image of a section of Convention Hall, built in 1925, located on the boardwalk and beach in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The famed building has been host to Rock and Roll bands, including: Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplan, The Temptations, The Who, Kiss, No Doubt, and The Beach Boys...to name a few!
Asbury Park's Convention Hall is a monument to summer fun and to New Jersey's culture. Adorned by colorfully glazed sea creatures and ornamental copper sailing ships, this structure of terra cotta, brick and copper is a federal landmark. It was designed by the firm of Warren and Wetmore, architects of Grand Central Station in Manhattan. Restoration began after years of neglect in a harsh oceanfront environment. As water breeched its masonry, moisture became trapped behind a glazed ceramic facade and shattered the terra-cotta. Beneath the building's skin, salt water accelerated the deterioration of skeletal steel. Expansion cracked multiple terra cotta units while undermining the building's structure.

I remember this so well, Colleen! I had the opportunity to be here as a youngster when The Temptations were performing. A wonderful, memorable capture! L
