Engleside Hotel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Engleside Hotel was one of the most decorative and beautiful Victorian hotels that once stood in Beach Haven (located on the southern end of Long Beach Island), New Jersey. Built in the early 1870s by Quakers, it quickly became one of the most popular resorts on Long Beach Island, along with the Baldwin Hotel located nearby.

The hotel was unfortunately torn down during WWII, and architectural pieces were auctioned off. The stained glass windows from the dining room were purchased by the director of Harvey Cedars Bible Conference (on the north end of the island, formerly the historic Harvey Cedars Hotel, followed by Camp Whelen), and used in their chapel for many years; eventually removed due to consistent damage by high wind.
