	New York Architecture Images- Jones Beach
		State officials are hoping for a surge of support for maintaining and restoring the park and its bathhouses, buildings and landscaping to the high aesthetic standards of its original design.
		But the sheer grandeur of the park's design and of the high quality materials used to build it, mixed with lighthearted signs and an architecture that weaved in the suggestion that it was a place for wholesome fun, made Jones Beach an entirely new kind of park.
		As state officials celebrate the 75th anniversary of Jones Beach today with birthday cake and special activities, a respected preservation group is focusing attention on the loss of many historic architectural details that made the park unique.

		Station Short Beach was rebuilt and renamed as Station Jones Beach in 1990.
		The property had not all been returned into the house, and so suddenly did the sea gather proportions, that the crew, who were at dinner, had barely time to save such of the equipment as were there, and abandon the station, before it was lifted bodily from its foundation and borne half a mile away.
		By 1925, the position was described as "on Jones Beach, two miles west from east end." The station was extensively repaired and improved in 1888.

		Jones Beach State Park, most renowned of all Long Island State Parks derives its name from Major Thomas Jones who came to Long Island in 1692, built, near Massapequa, the first brick house on Long Island and eventually acquired a total of 6,000 acres.
		Apparently he thought he also owned a part of what is now Jones Beach because around the year of 1700 he established a whaling station on the outer beach near the site of the present park.
		The park comprises2,413 acres with 6.5 miles of ocean beach frontage and a half mile of bay frontage developed for stillwater bathing.

	Meadowbrook State Parkway
		The causeway leading to Jones Beach was constructed on hydraulic fill over marsh and islands across the bay on lands donated to the state by the Town of Hempstead.
		The popularity of Jones Beach continued to grow in the postwar era, and to meet the demand, the LISPC widened the Meadowbrook State Parkway from four to six lanes south of EXIT M6 (Southern State Parkway).
		In 1977, maintenance of the Meadowbrook State Parkway was transferred from the LISPC to the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), although ownership remained under the jurisdiction of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP).

		Jones Beach has a dual function, as both beach and concert venue.
		In fact when Jones Beach opened in the 1920s, it was socially exclusionary; buses couldn't negotiate the low underpasses, and less wealthy people didn't own cars.
		Long Beach is also best experienced as a day trip from the city, since it's not set up for overnighters: All the beachfront property is apartments and retirement homes, and hotels (and boardwalk restaurants) are virtually nonexistent.

		The bay and barrier beach sediments are composed predominantly of water-sorted sands and gravels derived from glacial outwash and marine sources, with extensive peat deposits in East Hempstead Bay.
		Jones Beach barrier island has roads and recreational facilities to support the state park, but much of it remains in a semi-natural state.
		Beach stabilization, beach nourishment, dune alterations, and groin or jetty repairs and maintenance are all threats, as are destruction and alteration of ephemeral pools within Jones Beach for the purposes of mosquito control.

		The park opened in 1929 and comprises 2,413 acres with 6.5 miles of ocean beach and a half mile of bay-facing beach.
		The construction of the park facilities at Jones Beach was a massive task, involving the transport of over 4,000,000 cubic yards of sand to build up beaches and raise the developed parklands areas.
		Unfortunately, Jones Beach is really a heavily-used recreational playground, and it really isn't a good place to take a class to study the beach.

	Long Island History: Ancient, Clean, Controversial
		The oldest stuff at Jones Beach State Park isn't the 1950s rock and roll at the oldies shows, the vintage 1929 bathhouses, or even the Jones name, which comes from a British privateer who established a whaling outpost on the beach 300 years ago.
		As the millenium-long odyssey of Jones Beach's water supply shows, Long Island's aquifer system is not only the region's most vital natural resource and its chief environmental concern, it is also our strongest link with the ancient past.
		But even in places like Jones Beach, where the water is 1,000 years old, the quality of the water supply will eventually be determined by the way we treat our environment today.
