Description
In the main area of the Heinz Ocean Pier Glass Pavilion, built in 1899 and located in Atlantic City, was a collection of 144 paintings, bronzes, tapestries, and curios, some of them displayed at the 1893 Columbian World Exposition. In a typical season, as many as 15,000 visitors came onto the Heinz Pier daily. In the winter when the pavilion was closed, 4,000 people came to the Sun Parlor. Heinz Pier was washed away in a hurricane in September 1944. In the forty-six years of its existence, an estimated 50 million people visited the pier, and every one of them was offered the Heinz pickle pin.
