CAPE MAY – Cape May City Council March 19 dedicated a permanent exhibit of detailed pen-and-ink drawings of the city’s most significant historic structures that were instrumental in saving this seaside town, created in the early 1970s for the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS).
The exhibit will be on permanent display at City Hall.
The drawings played a crucial role in Cape May reaching national prominence for its documented, outstanding Victorian architecture, and being recognized as a National Historic Landmark City in 1976.
The City Hall exhibit gives renewed life to the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC) Carroll Gallery exhibit, “Capturing Cape May’s Architecture: The Making of a National Historic Landmark,” which featured the drawings through 2018 at the historic 1879 Emlen Physick Estate.
