Municipal Building
Wildwood, NJ
Fast Break
Toms River, NJ
The Municipal Building was built in 1963. In 2022, the facade was remodeled. The lettering and color panels are gone. [map]

The Fast Break restaurant building appears to be from the 1960s. Does anyone know what business was here originally? [map]

former AMF Strike N Spare Lanes
Green Brook, NJ
The AMF Strike N Spare Lanes building appears to be from the 1950s or 1960s. I assume the poles held balls or flags at one time. In 2015, the place was closed and was being renovated as the Bowlmor Green Brook. [map]

New Jersey State Museum
Trenton, NJ
The New Jersey State Museum was designed by Frank Grad & Sons from 1962-64. It is part of a complex which opened in 1965. It includes a four-level Museum building, an adjacent auditorium, and a Planetarium (the domed building). [map]
