The Boardwalk has the feel and charm of the American Boardwalks of the early 1900s. And with that comes some beautiful Lighting. In the Lobby of the resort are several amazing chandeliers and accent lights. One thing to notice is the amount of natural light that illuminates the lobby. This is a nice touch as it's a tribute to those early days. Although the electric light was common at the time the bulbs were not as bright as today's are. In fact, they would not light a room much more than a lantern. So to compensate you need many lights and ways to reflect the light. Hence the chandeliers with many bulbs and also the use of mirrors and crystals in the room.
The next to photos show some of the accent lightings found around the lobby fireplace. These lights are more for accenting and reading as opposed to the large chandeliers used for lighting the whole room.
Dundy's Sundries has a beautiful stain-glass sign illuminated from behind.
The fun model of a roller coaster has very tiny pin lights on the loop.
Two built-in bookcases in the lounge use photo frame lights to illuminate vintage board game boards. Also, we see some vintage radios that are used to pipe in background music. In the good old days, they would glow from the tubes inside. The model of the Singer sewing machine in the upper right would not be electric but it would have an electric light attached to it to see the needle better.
One more Chandler, this one located in the lobby of the conference center.
