Notes
  • Significance: The Convention Hall an American Society of Civil Engineers, Cilil Engineering Landmark is a monumental architectural and engineering accomplishment, built in 1926-29 in Beaux Arts style. The hall underscores the city's history as an amusement and recreation resort. Atlantic City had been a convention destination since the late 19th century; in 1912, 175 state and national conventions returned annually to the resort. In addition, the Auditorium is still one of the largest interior spaces in the world; it was at the time of its construction the largest building in the world without roof posts or pillars.
