Murals by Porkchop - Asbury Park - 3
Palace Casino & Carousel House
106 Asbury Avenue
Asbury Park, New Jersey 07712
United States
The Palace Casino and Carousel House are part of the Asbury Park Boardwalk, circa 1929 by Architect Warren and Wetmore.
The 1920s saw a dramatic change in the boardwalk with the construction of the Paramount Theatre and Convention Hall complex, the Casino Arena and Carousel House, and two handsome red-brick pavilions. Beaux Arts Architect Warren Whitney of New York was the designer. He had also been hired to design the imposing Berkeley-Carteret Hotel positioned diagonally across from the theater and hall. At the same time, Asbury Park launched a first-class education and athletic program with the construction of a state-of-the-art high school overlooking Deal Lake.
In 2007, the eastern portion of the Casino building was demolished. There are plans to rebuild this portion to look much like the original; however, the interior will be dramatically different and may include a public market (as opposed to previously being an arena and skating rink).
Mural by Porkchop (Michael Lavallee) is a multi-disciplinary artist living in Asbury Park, New Jersey. He has a MBA in Sculpture from VCU and has had a successful career designing and creating murals, mixed media art and sculpture. He creates intriguing scenarios by combining paint, illustration, and text.
