A unique, triangle-shaped house which has long delighted the denizens of Wildwood, NJ was fated for the wrecking ball — but a hero arrived just in time.
This local Jersey icon will live another day.
“We have found a future site for the A-Frame,” said Taylor Henry, vice president of the community alliance, which championed the six decade-old property’s saving. Henry told The Post the good news on Monday, soon after the home’s owner announced it was free to anyone who could move it — and would be demolished to make way for condos if no one did.
“It will be taken to Upper Township, NJ, and be used as a caretaker’s cottage at Steelmantown Cemetery,” said Henry.The parcel on which the home stands traded hands in the summer of 2021 — and local real estate agent William Macomber, who represents the new condo-developing owner — offered up the red-tone A-Frame structure for zero dollars and zero cents.
The building, in addition to looking quirky, is also a “local landmark with a lot of history,” as well as one of only two structures built in the “rare architectural style” currently in the Wildwoods, Henry said. Constructed in 1961 by Wildwoods resident, veteran and hobbyist Glenn Dye as a headquarters for his many clubs, the home was bought as a Sears & Roebuck kit home and put together by Dye himself.
