CAPE
MAY, NEW JERSEY
by
John Galluzzo
You could drive for thousands of miles around
this great country and not see what you will
see in one day in Cape May. Not in New York,
not in Chicago, not in L.A.
Cape May is a community architecturally frozen
in time, a snapshot of what much of the country
looked like in the 1880s. And what a time that
was for architects in America! Unleashed from
the restraints set upon them by the need for
central fireplaces and chimneys, thanks to the
invention of steam heat and radiators they could
freely design houses that rambled in any direction
unhampered by the shackles of symmetry. Anything
was possible so long as a pipe could reach a
room to keep the owners' toes warm at night.
