Description

The Big Apple Kiosk is a seaside structure shaped like an apple, made of poured concrete, possibly reinforced, and set into the surrounding tarmac. It features a serving window on the northwest side, flanked by four modern windows, with the center two able to open. There is a projecting hood over the window and a door adjacent to it. At the top, a metal stalk completes the apple shape. The kiosk is painted green with a red top, and it has the words ‘THE BIG APPLE’ painted above the window, along with ‘ICE CREAM’ and two ice cream cones below. Additionally, there is a painted cone to the left of the door and a painted candy stick on the door. The kiosk has not been inspected.
