St. Mary By-The-Sea - Property Tour - Cape May Point
Saint Mary by-the-Sea has an incredible history here in Cape May Point.
It was first built as a the Shoreham hotel in 1889 and then was purchased by the Sisters of St Joseph who made it into St Mary by-the-Sea retreat house.
The fate of St Mary by-the-Sea is currently up in the air. The Sisters of St. Joseph haven’t decided yet on what they want to do with the current building.
Here at the Wildwood Video Archive we do everything possible to preserve history. We do that by digitalizing 8mm, Super 8mm and 16mm film and putting them online for everyone to see.
We also try to save buildings before they are lost to history.
Since we don’t know what will be happening to this beautiful historic building I wanted to document the entire property.
With the permission of the Sisters of St. Joseph, we got to walk every room and film it for future generations.

Had great hard working Saint Joe's nuns while attending St. Bartholomew's in North East Philly. We had 32 classrooms with around 1,750 students and over 20 nuns back in the early 60's. They never had a car so would see them walking to take a trolley or bus. Nuns seldom retired. Had some in their mid 70's that still were teaching for very little money with no pension or Social Security. They taught us to be honest & responsible. My old grade school was closed then a few years later torn down. Thanks Joey for another great vid.

If I could win the lottery I would make a 75 room hotel with a bathroom in every room, add air conditioning. A out door and indoor pool.this building is much too beautiful to tear down.

Ive walked by this place many times. I could hear people praying the rosary on the porches loud enough that I could pray along with them. Just beautiful

The nuns were always very clean and took great care of things. I did not see any heating ducts or radiators so this great building was only intended to be used in the summer. Rest of the year great Saint Joe nuns were teaching.

Hi Joey, I’m so glad that you video documented St. Mary’s. I always wondered what it was like inside and it was exactly how I had imagined. Sad that the historical treasures of yesterday are always being torn down. Please keep us posted on what they decide to do with the building.

Hi Joey, I told my sister to watch it because she just came back from retreat. She said she saw you in the attic but didn't realize what you were doing. Watching the video made her cry again at the thought of it closing. Thank you for making this video.

Joey, great video, I was taught by the SSJ's from the early 60's to early 70's I graduated from Notre Dame HS Green Pond (Northampton County) in 1973. I sometimes go down to St. Joseph Villa in Flourtown, Pa. to visit some of the sisters I was taught by. Most of the sisters are in their 80'& 90's now. (GOD BLESS THEM)

1962 was the Ash Wednesday noreaster that ripped up the beach and homes.

Great work on your video! It would have been nice if the building could have been turned into a museum. We had four St.Joe"s nuns that taught at St Thomas the Apostle in Chester Heights Pa. The classes were set up by two grades together, 1st and 2nd together, 3rd and 4th, 5th and 6th and 7th and 8th. One nun would teach both grades. They were very dedicated.

A big Thank You to the Sisters for allowing you to video this Grand building. I always wanted to see St. Mary's up close, and you have made it happen. Joey, it was like walking beside you. Very interesting, Thanks.

Fantastic Joe! Always wanted to see inside. I hope they can save it.

Thank you for documenting this, Joey. I spent many wonderful times there, working on retreat teams, painting porch railings, and helping with property maintenance. I have a wonderful painting of the house with sisters in full habits walking the porches and relaxing on the beach. It will now be more than just a reminder of special times spent there... it sails into history and will remain ever in our hearts. Your video is a blessing to all.
