Jones Beach State Park - Buildings

Buildings

The primary buildings on the Jones Beach site are the two enormous bathhouses (west and east) and the 231-foot (70 m) water tower, all built to Moses' specifications. After rejecting a number of submissions by architects for the bathhouses, he selected the designs of the young and relatively inexperienced Herbert Magoon. Moses also picked out building materials - Ohio Sandstone and Barbizon brick - two of the most expensive materials available. Another prominent structure is the Nikon at Jones Beach Theater, formerly known as the Jones Beach Marine Theater.
