The Asbury Park Historic Steam Plant at Sunrise

Captured November 2021

The Asbury Park, Carousel, Casino and the Historic Steam plant building on an unusually calm morning over Wesley Lake at Sunrise. The Steam Plant was built in 1930 in order to provide heat to boardwalk attractions so that Asbury Park could compete year-round for recreational business. It was designed by Warren and Wetmore from New York City who were responsible for other Beaux Arts structures nearby, including the Casino, Convention Hall, Paramount Theatre, and the Berkeley Carteret Hotel to the North and the firm's most important commission, NYC's Grand Central Station
