- Description:
- Postcard (tinted halftone, 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches) titled – Fifth Avenue Arcade, Asbury Park N. J. A seaside community, Asbury Park is located on New Jersey's central coast. Developed in 1871 as a residential resort by New York brush manufacturer James A. Bradley, the city was named for Franciss Asbury, the first American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. Along the waterfront Bradley installed the Asbury Park Boardwalk, an orchestra pavilion, public changing rooms, an arcade and a pier at the south end of that boardwalk. As many as 600,000 people a year vacationed in Asbury Park during the summer season in the early years, riding the New York and Long Branch Railroad from New York City and Philadelphia to enjoy the mile-and-a-quarter stretch of oceanfront Asbury Park. No descriptive text on reverse. Postage required: Domestic, one cent
Foreign, two cents. Card number 250.7. - Metadata URL:
