In 2019, the roof was torn off. It was literally raining inside the building. Last night, this historic landmark was finally reborn as an incredible gourmet restaurant and hotel in the heart of downtown Point Pleasant Beach!
Six years ago, when I had just been elected Mayor of Point Beach, the beautiful Gottlieb Building faced the wrecking ball. I was desperately trying to find a way to save it after demo permits had been issued and the roof was ripped off.
In stepped the Fisher family. Steve and Sue saw the potential for our town and our community and made one of the most generous gestures imaginable. They literally helped me save it at the very last minute. The wrecking equipment was literally outside.
Last night, after years of restoration work, the incredible building that was built in 1906 was finally reborn. And wow, does she look incredible.
Darryl and Kristi Monticello opened the gorgeous, gourmet restaurant called “Gourmand” last night. Every single detail was accounted for. I’m not allowed to recommend places as an Assemblyman, but what I can say is that they did the building, this town and our community proud. I’ll let the pictures below speak for themselves.
