United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Name of Property Squan Beach Life-Saving Station #9 County and State Monmouth County, New Jersey Section 7 Page 1 OVERALL The Squan Beach Life-Saving Station is a mirror image of the typical Duluth-style life-saving station first designed by George R. Tolman in 1893. The design uses details from both the Shingle-style and Colonial Revival building typologies. The building is made up of three sections: the living quarters to the east, the boatroom to the west, and the tower in the center. (Photos 1 and 2) The living quarters is two bays wide by two bays deep, one and one half stories tall with a sweeping jerkinhead gable roof with dormers that provide light to the upper floor. The boatroom is two bays wide by three bays deep, one story with a full attic above. These two sections are flush along the north facade; the boatroom is deeper to the south. The tower is the focal point of the building. It is square, one bay wide and deep, and stands four stories tall. There are two porches, one on the south elevation and one on the north elevation, both providing access to the living quarters. LOCAL AREA The Squan Beach Life-Saving Station is located
