Medusa Black and White | Fine Art Photograph by Colleen Kammerer
~~
Detailed image of the Medusa window with added textures. It is a beautiful example of the vintage design from the old Carousel House in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
On the south side of the Asbury Park Boardwalk, bordering the small town of Ocean Grove, several ornate structures were built, designed by New York Beaux-Arts architects Whitney Warren & Charles Wetmore (designers of Grand Central Station). These structures would define the town's character: a huge casino and its accompanying arcade boasted an assortment of amusements in its entertainment complex, from rides to concessions to year-round accommodations.
Carousel #87 from the Philadelphia Toboggan Company was installed in the ornate Carousel House in 1932 and would run for more than half a century. Asbury Park began its decline and by the 1980s the entertainment district had more or less disintegrated. The buildings were abandoned and left to decay. The famed carousel was bought in 1990 and moved to Family Kingdom Park in Myrtle Beach, S.C., where it now operates with fiberglass replicas of the original wooden horses. The Carousel House remains standing.
