1200 CAPE MAY AVE. • THE DeWATERS RESIDENCE The “L-shaped” design by architect Joseph Ross is “Cape May Cottage” and features great natural light with large windows throughout, and an open and airy concept in the Great Room with its high ceilings. Pickled cedar on the ceiling and wainscoted walls on the staircase give the house a warm, cozy feeling.

The kitchen and bathroom cabinets were locally handmade; the kitchen, with its custom maple gray distressed finish and organic pewter finish handles, complements the marble tile backsplash with its painting of the beach in Cape May with shore birds and the Lighthouse. The owners enjoy cooking and this kitchen suits their preparation and entertaining needs.

The owners consider artful tile design the “jewelry of the home” and each of the four bathrooms has its own unique character and design. The downstairs hall bath includes a multi-piece tile medallion in the shower and custom bronze light fixtures, with an etched glass transom over the door to match the light fixtures. The master bath contains handmade tiles depicting shore birds and sea creatures.

The interior design is beach casual with light colors and casual furniture.

The DeWaters are full-time residents of Cape May and the Great Room furniture has a complete set of slipcovers in more earthy tones that are used for the winter months. The home office off the Great Room is light and cheerful with a color scheme to match. Much of the artwork throughout the home are watercolors by New Jersey artists.

The porches are perfect for taking in the Cape May breezes and feature stamped concrete flooring for easy maintenance and design interest. The deck and patio are used for outdoor entertaining and grilling, and are favorite places to gather. The “Potting Shed” in the backyard provides storage for the owners’ do-it-yourself projects and gardening.

1131 CAPE MAY AVE. • THE HENDERSON RESIDENCE

Boho Chic in Cape May This is a traditional home on a lovely large lot. The first floor renovation and interior design was completed in 2017 to update the kitchen and create an open floor plan for use by the owners’ very large family of six grown children and six grands!

The home has a new screened-in porch for outdoor dining. An open deck, marble deck and pool have been added for a fabulous resort atmosphere. The rear yard includes a fire pit with chairs from the Phillies stadium and a large grassy area for games.

The home’s interior is a riot of color with a cool “boho chic” vibe. A custom kitchen and reclaimed wood floors complete the look. This project was a super

fun collaboration between the fearless owners and Classic Coastal Contractors.

1805 NEW YORK AVE. • THE O’NEILL RESIDENCE

The O’Neill residence, an authentic Shingle Style home which overlooks the dunes of Cape May’s Poverty Beach and captures sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, is perfectly designed and furnished for creating generations of summer family traditions and memories.

Exterior highlights include a custom fabricated lighthouse feature, a rooftop deck offering a true panoramic view of East Cape May, inviting wrap-around porches, a full outdoor kitchen and dining deck, and a secluded pool area with a complementing pool house.

A light-filled two-story foyer with a grand piano welcomes you to this one-of-a-kind home, which includes a separate in-law suite, custom gourmet kitchen, spacious open dining room, “skunk bunk” room, glass-enclosed breakfast nook and various other interior

features developed to accommodate large family gatherings and celebrations.

The indigenous plantings found in the Cape May region and sold at the Nature Center of Cape May were incorporated into the landscaping over the years by the owners, who also maintain a large organic vegetable garden on the property.

1236 CAPE MAY AVE. • THE SCHMIDT RESIDENCE

The residence located at 1236 Cape May Ave. was designed by Stephen Fenwick Architects and interior designer Jan Schmidt of Dragonfly Interiors.

Owners Jan and Joe Schmidt wanted a “downsized” property and home and found the perfect lot on which to develop their plan. There were a few specifics that they would not forego, however, regardless of size. One of those things was a first floor master bedroom and the second was a screened-in rear porch overlooking a lovely garden and pool/ spa. This area also includes a carriage house-style garage.

Other considerations included 10-foot ceilings on the first floor along with a vaulted family room ceiling to give a mid-sized home a grander feel. The open concept brings light in throughout the house. The second floor provides two guest en suites and office.

An additional room, used for storage since there is no basement, could easily be made into a large fourth bedroom.

The exterior was designed as an evolved Dutch Colonial style with

architecturally-enhanced windows and a porte couchere, or carport, as an added design element and practical entryway.

The shingle-style siding adds to the maturity of the house and, along with the landscaping, creates the appeal of a home that has always been right there!

The Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities and the rebirth of Cape May MAC was formed in September 1970 at a critical juncture in Cape May’s history, when historic preservationists banded together to save the landmark 1879 Emlen Physick Estate (with its mansion and outbuildings, vacant and vandalized, on eight overgrown acres) from being bulldozed to make way for tract housing.

MAC’s leaders mounted a political revolution to achieve their goals. Running on a platform of quality of life and historic preservation, Bruce Minnix, one of four MAC founders, led a reform ticket to victory in the November 1972 elections. His first acThe Emlen Physick Estate in 1970 tions as mayor in 1973 were to accept a HUD grant, purchase the Physick Estate for the City of Cape May and immediately lease it to MAC for its restoration and operation. MAC’s founders were kept busy with the restoration of the Physick Estate. An army of volunteers repaired leaking roofs, sanded and painted, reglazed missing windows and cleared jungle growth from the grounds to bring the Estate back from the brink. The decision to operate the mansion as a Victorian house museum has continued to this day.

MAC soon began programs that went far beyond restoring the Physick Estate. One of its major initiatives was to extend MAC’s interpretative net over the entire community with guided walking tours of Cape May’s Historic District, trolley tours, and historic house tours. MAC added special events as fund-raisers, including Victorian Weekend over the Columbus Day holiday, now in its 45th year. The Christmas Candlelight House Tour put Cape May on the path of becoming a major Christmas destination.

As Cape May’s fortunes rose in the 1980s in response to a national craze for Victoriana, so did the range and complexity of MAC’s tours and activities. From the single trolley tour route of the 1970s, a second was added in 1983 and a third in 1985. Christmas trolley tours were introduced to flesh out the holiday season, and special events were launched for February, Page 40 • Cape May Designer House Tour • Sept. 23, 2017

April and May. While the sum of these experiences was positive and pointed to a bright future, it took one particular event to catapult MAC to its next phase of growth— the “acquisition,” through a long-term lease, of the Cape May Lighthouse. Under the lease, MAC assumed responsibility for the restoration and operation of the Lighthouse as a museum. In 1987, the ground floor was opened to the public. The following year, safety improvements allowed the public to climb to the top of the tower. The Lighthouse also housed MAC’s first Museum Shop.

MAC continued to make great strides in its efforts to extend the tourism season, in partnership with the business community. It launched the Cape May Music Festival, expanded Christmas programming, and added September’s Cape May Food and Wine Celebration, and Halloween Happenings in October. MAC also partners with other area non-profits and area historic destinations.

The Carriage House at the Physick Estate also underwent a major overhaul in 1997 and was converted to a multipurpose facility, housing a space for changing exhibits, a museum shop and visitors center, and the Carriage House Cafe & Tearoom (opened in 1999), which utilizes both the interior horse stalls and a tented patio area.

Perhaps MAC’s most ambitious undertaking of the past decade has been its efforts to interpret Cape May’s important World War II history. The centerpiece of this venture was the successful completion of MAC’s third major restoration project – the World War II Lookout Tower (Fire Control Tower No. 23) on Sunset Boulevard. After leasing the structure from the State Park Service and raising more than $1 million in grant funding, a year of construction led to the opening of the tower to the public in the spring of 2009.

In its first 47 years, MAC has been a major force behind Cape May’s dramatic rebirth. As of 2017, with strong Board leadership, an annual audience of some 270,000 and a staff of 150 (25 full-time and 125 parttime employees, making MAC one of Cape May’s largest employers), MAC stands poised to help Cape May sustain its preservation success story for years to come.

MAC’s membership has grown to nearly 4,000, and this support helps ensure the continuation of the organization’s preservation, interpretation and cultural enrichment efforts. We hope you will join our labor of love.
