Mansions Focus C W Gaslight Tours

CAPE MAY - Every Wednesday in July, Mansions by Gaslight Tours will open four of Cape May. New Jersey's most famous Victorian landmarks to the public 8 to 10 p.m. Sponsored by the MidAtlantic Center for the Arts (MAC), these tours of the interiors of restored vintage homes offers an intimate insight into Victorian lifestyles. Tickets for the Mansions by Gaslight Tour may be purchased at the Emlen Physick House, 1048 Washington St., starting one half hour before tour time. MAC'S trolley-bus will run on a continuous transit loop. Tour-goers intending to take the trolley to all four houses should start at the Physick House no later than 8 p.m. HOUSES OPEN on the tour include: The Emlen Physick House, designed by architect Frank Furness and completed in 1879, now Victorian House Museum. It is the headquarters of the MidAtlantic Center for the Arts. The Abbey, Columbia Avenue and Gurney Street, built in 1869 for a Pennsylvania coal baron, is an outstanding example of Gothic Revival Architecture. The Mainstay Inn 635 Columbia Ave., built in 1872 as a posh gentlemen's gambling club, is a classic example of the Italianate Style, with 14-foot ceilings and wrap-around verandas. THE WILBRAHAM Mansion, 133 Myrtle Ave., began as a simple country farmhouse built in 1840. It was expanded and Victorianized in 1900 by the wealthy Wilbraham industrial family from Philadelphia. Rummage Sale VILLAS — A rummage sale will be held 9 a.m. -4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, July 11 and 12, at the Democratic Club, Bayshore Road and Washington Street.

In the past year or so, each house on the tour has gone through remarkable changes. The Physick House has received new carpeting in the formal parlor and music room, a 7-piece matched parlor set for the formal parlor, a gilt harp for the Music Room, and spectacular new wall and ceiling papers for Dr. Physick's library. The Abbey's (wo parlors and dining room have been completely transformed with elaborate wall and ceiling papers; The Mainstay Inn made headlines last year with 19 patterns of wallpaper and stejiciling that turned its entry hall into a Victorian fantasyland; while the Wilbraham mansion has added a new front portico and a huge rear addition enclosing its swimming pool.
