Description
Ocean Grove, New Jersey is a treasure trove of Victorian seaside architecture. Despite hurricanes and nor' easters, it still stands much intact. Such fanciful designs remind us that these homes were meant to catch breezes and insure comfort. Large windows and shady terraces made living pleasant and easy. Especially before air conditioning.
Cape May while similar, is probably better known. Before the Civil War, wealthy southerners would come north to New Jersey and Rhode Island to escape the heat of soupy coastal Georgia and the Carolinas. Ocean Grove was founded as a dry temperance community with camp meetings and prayer as a focus.
