Cape May’s most photographed home, the John B McCreary House (the “Abbey”) built in 1869 for a wealthy Coal baron in the Gothic Revival style influenced by the great medieval churches of Europe is located at the historic district’s heart one block from town and the beach. The home underwent extensive renovations in the spring of 2023, with a new double height ceiling kitchen with a fireplace, new bathrooms, restored floors and a professional décor update to Cape May’s most spectacular home.
