Renovation

The former Christian Science Society, also known as the John B. McCreary House, and, most recently, as The Abbey, is an historic Victorian building located at 34 Gurney Street, corner of Columbia Street, in Cape May, New Jersey.
Designed by Philadelphia architect Stephen Decatur Button, it was built for $20,000 between 1869-1870 for State Senator John B. McCreary, a Pennsylvania coal baron.

The guys are dwarfed by the size of this magnificent old building. It will be even more beautiful when restored. V

Beautiful image, Stephanie! Even without the workers this would be a nice shot, but they add a sense of scale, so well captured.

There is no way they would be legally allowed to do this down here...over 1.5mt off the ground and safety scaffolding needs to be erected !!

I like this perspective of the workers and their task of the renovation work that clearly needs attention. The windows are points of interest and the faded paintwork as well. Great shot, Stephanie.BBV

many great design features in this venerable structure...it looks overdue for some paint, so encouraging to see the daring boys at work...V

A very interesting scene though agree with others that ladder safety technique seems to be limited. V.
