Historic Jackson Street, Cape May

The Inn at 22 Jackson is located on Cape May's oldest street.

This is how Jackson Street looked in 1910. The famous Cape May fire of 1878 destroyed all of the buildings on the street. The street was rebuilt, in the style of the era - the Victorian era.

Here's a photo of Jackson Street today.

Many of the same Victorian era buildings, including the Inn at 22 Jackson, are still standing.

The street is well known for its fine restaurants, inns and shops.

You can see the Inn at 22 Jackson in this old postcard - it's the building with the turret.

The home was built for Harry and Dorothy Parker from Philadelphia in 1899. The Parkers used it as their summer "cottage."

For fun, pass your cursor over the postcard - to see the Inn at 22 Jackson in the past and the present.
