The Natatorium

Some people are confused regarding the Natatorium that once graced Asbury Park.
The first one - picture here - was the origin of a great fire in 1917 that leveled four city block between the boardwalk and Grand Avenue. The building had shops and an indoor saltwater pool.
Loved to have seen it
