Casino Pier at Boardwalk in Seaside Heights, New Jersey

by John Margolies

Return to the glory days of the Jersey Shore with this fantastic photograph of Casino Pier at Boardwalk in Seaside Heights, New Jersey from the 1970s, taken by the famous architectural photographer John Margolies. With the classic elements of summer nostalgia in full effect, this photograph features the lively people of the boardwalk wearing period clothes, signs at Kohr’s Frozen Custard and The Wax Museum, “The Palace” and the famous chair lift against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Famous for capturing images of roadside commercial architecture and 1950s popular culture, Margolies transformed the everyday into art.

No matter if you are furnishing your beach home, putting together a gallery wall that is all about retro, or simply looking for a perfect gift for New Jersey, this artwork will bring a little bit of seaside history to any room.
