Asbury Park's Convention Hall was designed in the 1920s by the same architects behind NYC's Grand Central Station.  In the 1960s, the Convention Hall was the largest venue in the area, playing host to The Who, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane and The Rolling Stones.

Although in need of restoration, the Convention Hall is in better condition than most of the historic buildings in Asbury Park, due in large part to the fact that the building is still in use.
