Artifacts from the former Palace Amusements in Asbury Park, including the famous Tillie face, are included in Preservation New Jersey’s annual list of the 10 Most Endangered Places in the Garden State.
The list was announced Saturday, May 4.
The Palace Amusements, between Cookman and Lake avenues on Kingsley Street, was torn down in 2004 as part of a redevelopment plan, but some elements were saved. They are apparently located outside the city’s Convention Hall, in a fenced off area that also houses the venue’s dumpsters.
Reps for Madison Marquette, the retail developer for the Asbury Park boardwalk and the current owner of the artifacts, and the city did not reply to a request for comment by press time.
