Description

Little Hollywood Beauty Parlor had a prime location on Springwood Avenue in the business district of Asbury Park’s predominantly African-American West Side. The building no longer exists, this block on the south side of Springwood, cleared for “urban renewal” after the unrest of 1970, now filled with recently built townhomes. The location on the map is approximate, as the exact location of the lot is unsure.

Detailed History

Listed for a single year, nothing has yet been found about the Little Hollywood. The 1938 and 1940 city directories list the address as vacant.
