Santa Monica Pier's Historic Carousel Building Damaged by Storm Surge
Extreme high tides and storm-driven waves on the night of December 25th caused significant damage to the foundation of the Santa Monica Pier's historic 1922 carousel building.Engineers closed the structure for immediate stabilization, uncertain if the classic carousel inside sustained water damage. The pier itself remains open, but the loss of the iconic carousel during the holiday season is a major blow. A fundraising campaign for restoration is expected to launch next week.
