Description
The Wildwoods: A Barrier Island's Architectural Transformation In the late 19th century, South Jersey's barrier island underwent a significant transformation from a fishing town to a summer resort. As developers divided the land into lots and hired architects to design homes, a diverse range of architectural styles emerged, including Victorian, Craftsman, Gothic, and Colonial. These styles were often as grand as those found in Cape May, but many of the original homes fell into disrepair due to lack of appreciation or protection. However, some individuals saw potential in the Wildwoods' history and character, recognizing the benefits of preservation for the community. Today, these efforts continue, with homeowners and developers working together to save what makes the Wildwoods worth living in. Through photography and historical insight, Taylor Henry explores this transformation and the people behind it, offering a unique perspective on the region's architectural heritage.
