About:

One of the most distinctive and majestic landmarks along the New Jersey shore, Asbury Park's Convention Hall and Paramount Theatre is a multi-purpose venue of two separate buildings joined by a Grand Arcade. Convention Hall, located on the boardwalk and extending out over the beach, has a capacity of up to 3,600, depending upon the event. It features an impressive stage area and a spacious arena floor. The historic Paramount Theatre is a showcase for music and performing arts. The seating capacity of this acoustically superior facility is approximately 1,600 persons. The Paramount has been described as simultaneously majestic and intimate.

Connecting the two buildings is a Grand Arcade, through which the famous Asbury Park boardwalk extends. Warren and Wetmore designed the architectural landmark in 1923. They also designed New York City's Grand Central Station. The buildings are included on the state and national registers of historic places.
