Splash of Red challenged three artists (Porkchop, Joey Parlett and Jeff Allen) to create a piece of art inspired by a poem published on our website. Plus, Pulitzer Prize winner and New Jersey native Junot Diaz let us borrow the only lines he's ever written about the Jersey boardwalk from an unpublished novel for this project. The following experiment is displayed for you here. If you would like to visit, the mural is located on the heating plant on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, NJ. Notice the blank panel in the middle; there is always room for more creativity in this world.
Palace Casino - Carousel House - Heating Plant
106 Asbury Avenue, Asbury Park, New Jersey, United States
The Heating Plant is part of the Asbury Park Boardwalk, by architect Warren and Wetmore, circa 1929.
The Old Heating Plant was the central steam heating plant. It produced steam heat that was piped through underground tunnels between the boardwalk and Ocean Avenue. The steam was used to heat the heating plant, the Casino, all of the boardwalk pavilions and Convention Hall, plus the pavilions north of Convention Hall up to 8th avenue.
The Art Deco style is that interesting combination of Moorish, Venetian and Egyptian that we can see through the architectural structures in Asbury Park.
