Inn Has New Lease on Life

By l.lhby Demp Forrest Rafsting chestnuts scented the autumn air as Dr. Joseph Salvadore and his wife "Annie" chatted about the old Dennisville Inn’ (circa 1760-1770), they "fell in love with" in 1975 and moved in two sections to their Cold Spring farm. Now reconstructed and used to house craft shops at their Historic Cold Spring Village, the old structure stands amongst other' buildings of the past that link the history of Cape

May County. While Dr. Salvadore has been able to learn a great deal about the old inn, thqre are many missing gaps about the history of the building from the time it was built by. innkeeper Thomas Henderson until it became an auto agency during the 1940’s. As a youngster growing up in Wildwood, Dr. Salvadore had observed the house throughout those years and recalls thinking of it*as a "ghost house"

silhouetted between Main Street in Dennisville and < route 47. *It wds used to store old auto parts by a dealer named Pete Hanks. "People in Dennisville used to say That-'s where old Pete Hanks died' ”, Dr. Salvadore said, but he hasn’t been able to document the hearsay. If Pete Hanks fehost remains within the old inn, it would seem to have lots of ghostly company as there were numerous owners over the two hundred years the house has survived. One wonders though if the ghosts followed the house twenty miles down through the county when it was moved to Cold Spring seven years ago. Today woodcrafter Betty Sue Adams and stained glass artist Dorothy Federici use the old inn to display their wares, and the only 'company' they have had arc the growing number of tourists who come to Historic Cold Spring Village to enjoy a pleasant trip back thrash time. Dr. ijalvad'qre believes as time goes by more and more visitor^ will seek out the history of South Jersey and trek to the old village he and his wife a»e recreating. Childhood memory not

withstanding, when the Salvador^ were offered the Dennisville Inn they "became hooked " on the ancient three story sixroom house. Grat?. Chevrolet was planning to tear down the building when it heard about the Salvadoros' penchant for moving old houses to their Cold Spring farm. The agency happily gave the house to the Salvadores’. The original builder of the house had morticed the comers so that it was possible to take the house apart much like a jigsaw puzzle. It was girded onto a flat bed tractor trailer and suspended there for the trip to Cold Spring. The Salvadores' had the house reassembled, fixed up and painted immediately following the move while they began to research the history. Through old documents, it was determined Thomas Henderson had sold the inn around lil04 to Jeremiah Johnson, a Dennisville entrepreneur who owned considerable real estate in the town. Johnson applied for a tavern license in 1805 and farmers and fishermen enroute to Philadelphia to sell their products used the inn as a stopping off point during* the two day
