Built in 1929 to host the city's growing convention industry, the historic Hall was touted an architectural marvel at that time. With its large 137 foot-high barrel vault ceiling, the Atlantic City Convention Hall as it was formerly known, laid claim to the world's largest clear span space during that period.
The Boardwalk Hall contains a 33,000-pipe organ, the world's largest and loudest. It was built between 1929 and 1932 by the Midmer-Losh Organ Company of Merrick, Long Island, N.Y., to designs drawn-up by Atlantic County State Senator Emerson L. Richards.
