Preserving the Jewel of Spring Lake’s Shoreline
Originally constructed in 1914, The Essex & Sussex began as the premier seaside hotel in Spring Lake, New Jersey. Known as “The Jewel on the Ocean,” the hotel quickly became a luxurious retreat for presidents, celebrities, and visitors seeking elegance along the Jersey Shore. In recent years, the hotel was transformed into the area’s only oceanfront condominium complex, continuing its legacy as a prestigious and picturesque residence.
Facing decades of exposure to coastal elements and aging construction materials, the building’s exterior and balconies began to show signs of significant wear. In 2012, the Essex & Sussex Condominium Association engaged Wallover Architects to assess and restore the building’s iconic façade and ensure its structural and aesthetic integrity for years to come.
