For many, the Shore brings to mind the grand painted ladies of Victorian Cape May. However, just north of TCape May lies the neighboring communities of North Page 6 Wildwood, Wildwood and Wildwood Crest that draw praise for their own unique exuberant architecture. The Wildwoods’ wide sandy beach and the amusement-packed boardwalk are well known, but the striking, flamboyant, mid-20th century motels attract visitors to the Wildwoods every year. The architecture of the motels, called Googie on the West Coast, MiMo in north beach Miami or, more generically, Populuxe, is not known to exist outside the Wildwoods in an equivalent density. This expressive architectural style common in the ’50s and ’60s incorporated modern, sweeping angles, angular wall and roof styles, vibrant colors, starbursts and even Page 8 boomerang shapes and merits its own special attention in addition to the standard Jersey Shore fun. Indeed, the Wildwoods are a wildly popular summer spot, not only with local Shore visitors from the Mid-Atlantic, but also with vacationers from Quebec, Canada and beyond. The Wildwoods began developing as a resort in the last decade of the 19th century with steady growth to the early 20th century. The boom began in the 1950s, due partially to the construction and completion of the Garden State Parkway and the enthusiastic, tail-finned motorists it delivered. With Jon S.

However you view it, there is no doubt it is one of the Garden State’s somewhat underappreciated influences on the world of architecture. Known as Doo-Wop, it found a unique expression that came of age along with a generation of New Jerseyans in the motels of Wildwoods. The Wildwoods You wouldn’t know it to look at it today, but New Jersey’s Wildwoods were once, indeed, a tangle of wild woods. They sit on a six mile long barrier island near the southern tip of the state at Exit 4 on the Garden State Parkway. When one says “The Wildwoods,” they refer collectively to three separate municipalities: North Wildwood, Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest. They were founded by developers between 1880 and 1905, notably including Frederick Swope and his Five Mile Beach Improvement Company, Philip Pontius Baker and his Wildwood Beach Improvement Company, and John Burk with the Holly Beach Improvement Company.
