	Pictured Here: The Emlen Physick Estate was built in 1879 as a private residence for Dr. Emlen Physick and his family. The Stick Style design is attributed to renowned Victorian architect Frank Furness and features jerkin-head dormers, "stick"-like grids overlaying clapboard walls, "stick"-like brackets on the porch, and corbelled or "upside down" chimneys. The 18-room mansion is Cape May's only Victorian house museum and is administered by the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts. Entertaining and educational guided tours of the Estate run year-round.

	Pictured Here: The Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St., received the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce 41st Annual Beautification Award in the landscaping, non-profit division, for its beautifully planted oval garden. The award was presented at the Chamber's annual dinner on Oct. 4, 2007. The oval garden was replanted by a team including MAC's gardener and maintenance staff. The team followed Victorian garden designs researched by MAC's Curator Elan Zingman-Leith to give the oval garden historical authenticity. Now the oval garden looks as it would have 125 years ago.
