About this postcard

The Auditorium at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, stands behind a broad lawn and a fenced walkway, with a few small figures near its covered veranda. The large wooden building rises to a tall central tower flanked by smaller turrets, and mature trees frame it on both sides. Ocean Grove was founded in 1869 as a Methodist camp meeting ground on the New Jersey shore. Its auditorium served as the center for summer religious services and public gatherings, drawing visitors to the resort community.
