http://JohnRizzuto.zenfolio.com/p303594062 Photography and fine art prints of Metropolitan Hotel by John Rizzuto.<br/>The Metropolitan was tore down in March 2008. Very sad. The Metropolitan Hotel is a 180-room historic structure located at 309 Asbury Avenue in Asbury Park, New Jersey and was one of the last large hotels operating in Asbury Park before it closed in 1989.<br/>The current structure is not the original, although a hotel has operated on the site under this name since the 1880’s. The main structure is a Spanish Revival style built in a rectangle, with a four story hip roof, central pavilion, two-story porticos with fluted Doric columns, and balustrade and enclosed porches. Decorative touches include the stucco surfacing, parapet roof and canales. The metal marquee is a later addition, and there is a newer motel wing on the west side of the property. The Metropolitan is listed on the Monmouth County Inventory of Historic Sites, and is located in the Grand Avenue Institutional/Professional historic district.<br/> <br/><span class="large"><strong>The watermark (John Rizzuto) that appears on the bottom right of the photo is for online display purposes only and will NOT show on ordered prints or products.</strong></span><span class="large"><br/><strong></strong></span> en-us Copyright (C) Old School Galleries by John Rizzuto johnbrizzuto@aol.com (Old School Galleries by John Rizzuto) Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:00:00 GMT Buildings Architecture and Structures http://johnrizzuto.zenfolio.com/img/v3/p854217035-10.jpg http://JohnRizzuto.zenfolio.com/p303594062 120 80 http://JohnRizzuto.zenfolio.com/p303594062/?photo=31997616 <p><a href="http://JohnRizzuto.zenfolio.com/p303594062/?photo=31997616"><img src="http://johnrizzuto.zenfolio.com/img/v3/p31997616-3.jpg"/></a></p> <p>Metropolitan Hotel -
