At the rear of the large lot, a rare piece of Cape May history awaits: the original two-seat “privy”, converted long ago to serve as the shed — an exceedingly rare find. The oversized hardscaped driveway/parking area accommodates at least seven vehicles, a true luxury in this prime downtown location. The picturesque Joseph Hall Cottage has been widely featured in countless publications over the years, both local and national. Art lovers will appreciate that renowned artist Thomas Kinkade was inspired by this very home, producing a painting titled “Victorian Autumn”, a print of which is displayed in the dining room.
