Description
The Abbey or John B. McCreary House, is the most photographed home in Cape May. Built in 1869 by a wealthy Pennsylvania coal baron, John McCreary, its architecture is a mix of Victorian elegance meeting Gothic Revival. Architect Stephen Button designed this beautiful Gothic villa to feature a 60' tower. He also designed her with stenciled and ruby glass arched windows.This iconic home, in the very heart of Cape May, has for years been a bed and breakfast inn. However, after a recent facelift, the Abbey will have a new life as a vacation rental.
