Overview
Half of the connected landmarks at the north end of the boardwalk, by Warren and Wetmore, the architects of Grand Central Terminal, built 1928 to 1930. Closed, with repair obligations and the 2004 historic preservation easement on title. The easement requires the building be kept to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and open to the public at least twelve days a year, six hours a day, and binds every future owner.
Public access
Historic public-access expectations under the WRP and the boardwalk easement framework. The Grand Arcade is the public passage between Convention Hall and the Paramount Theatre.
Preservation obligations
