You go, girl!

The status of women in the Victorian era is often seen as an illustration of the striking discrepancy between national power and wealth and what many, then and now, consider appalling social conditions. During the era symbolized by the reign of British monarch Queen Victoria, women did not have suffrage rights, the right to sue, or the right to own property. At the

same time, women participated in the paid workforce in increasing numbers following the Industrial Revolution. Feminist ideas spread among the educated female middle classes, discriminatory laws were repealed, and the women’s suffrage movement gained momentum in the last years of the Victorian Era.

Light your bike

Cape May was always popular for bicycle riders, and an 1897 ordinance wanted to ensure that everyone saw them. It stipulated that any bicycles, tricycles or similar vehicles needed to be equipped with lamps capable of illumination visible one hundred yards ahead.

A new look for Cape May The Physick House made news in Cape May in 1879 because it was different from any other house in town. It was constructed in the avant garde Stick Style, while most cottages in town were still being built in the more conservative Italianate, Gothic and Mansard styles. 48

Sweep that soot!

In a city once ravaged by fire, one of the duties of the building inspector in Cape May during the 1890s was to see to it that every owner or occupant of a house had their chimney swept during the month of May each and every year, under penalty of a $5 to $50 fine. 50

The Lighthouse was staffed by keepers who worked for the U.S. Lighthouse Service. Cape May’s lighthouse generally had one head keeper and two assistants. They carried the oil to the top of the tower every day to power the light, and kept the lens apparatus clean and in working order. Keepers’ pay averaged $600 a year around the turn of the 20th century.

The citizens of Cape May during the 1890s liked their peaceful existence. An ordinance of 1897 stated that no driver, runner or conductor of a coach, omnibus or carriage of any hotel or boarding house was permitted to “halloo, shout or call out” the names of these places upon their arrival of train at the railroad depot.

A new look for Cape May The design of the Physick House, attributed to Frank Furness, made news in Cape May in 1879 because it was different from any other house in town, constructed in the avant garde Stick Style, while most cottages in town were still being built in the more conservative Italianate, Gothic and Mansard styles. While no document exists to prove the Furness attribution, historians concur that he was the only architect who could possibly have designed the Physick House. Such trademark features as the greatly oversized corbelled (upside down) chimneys, jerkinhead dormers, and porch brackets appear in many other Furness buildings of the period.

The Cape May Lighthouse is still a working beacon. The Coast Guard continues to operate the light as an active aid to navigation. The light is visible 24 miles out at sea and flashes every 15 seconds. A lighthouse’s flash pattern is called its “characteristic;” every lighthouse has its own light characteristic and exterior paint scheme (called a daymark) so that ship captains can tell them apart. 60

Busy hands So many women’s activities of the mid and late 19th century served to show that they were middle class. Making artificial flowers was one of these. Both timeconsuming and useless, making artificial flowers proved that your husband’s income made it possible for you to do no housework. Along with disabling clothing and countless crafts, flower-making was a visible sign of middle-class-ness. The conventions of the time made women almost literally prisoners in their parlors.
