Cape May City Library
The library on the corner of Ocean and Hughes in Cape May was in need of remodeling. The interior walls needed repair, the space lacked daylight because of blocked-in windows, the furnishings were old, the lighting was inefficient, and the electrical wiring was messy and obsolete. Cape May County Facilities and Services tradesmen are renovating the interior while an outside contractor is installing a new standing seam metal roof. The project is set for completion January 31st, 2010.

Rutgers Extension Kitchen Renovation
The Rutgers Cooperative Extension was in need of a kitchen renovation. The kitchen and meeting room are used by the Family and Community Health Sciences Educator as well as other departments for various functions. The appliances needed to be replaced, the cracked floors needed to be removed and replaced and the circulation and accessibility of the kitchen needed to be changed. Cape May County Facilities and Services installed new cabinets, appliances, floors, and accordion screen to separate the kitchen from the meeting room. The project was completed in November 2009.

Cape May County Museum
The Museum underwent both interior office and meeting room renovations as well as received a new ADA ramp at the rear of their barn building to make it more accessible by visitors. A new standing seam metal roof was installed to protect the contents within. The office and meeting room spaces are more suitable for their current function. A new ramp was constructed in a breezeway connecting 2 parts of the building that now allows wheelchair visitors full access throughout the 1st floor

Courthouse Renovations
Recently, Facilities and Services began 3 renovation projects at the County Courthouse.
Law Library
The Law Library space was moved to an adjacent area. An office, conference room, and public computer workstations were designed within the law library space, as well as space for the existing books.
Probation Department
The old law library space is now the Probation Department. The Probation Department was overcrowded and in desperate need for expansion. The department’s new space will contain 2 interview rooms, a supervisor’s office, receptionist counter and approximately 8 workstations.

Prosecutor’s Office
A project is in the beginning stages of renovation for the interior space of the existing Prosecutor’s Office. The new interior layout will better utilize the space to accommodate more personnel and eliminate wasted corridor space. A new secure lobby area has been designed to allow personnel access while visitors will have to sign in with the receptionist. A new 1st floor interview room will allow visitors a chance to speak with investigators, but also protect the privacy within the space.

Naylor House
From 1761 to 1857 the property was called the “Baptist Parsonage Farm.” Although settled in 1761, the property was 1st recorded at the County Clerk’s Office on March 3, 1827. Owner, William Billings, built the 1st house on the property and lived there. The original portion of the house, consisting of the kitchen, dining room, and 2 rooms upstairs, was constructed in 1833 and renovated many times thereafter. The property passed to Coleman F. and Hannah Leaming on October 27, 1862 and again on December 10, 1864 to Thomas Beasley.
Thomas Beasley
Beasley was a wealthy landowner, businessman, and politician. Beasley was chosen as a State Senator in 1870 and served in 1871, 1872, and 1873. He was 5 times chosen to the Assembly, serving in the years 1865, 1866, 1867, 1869, and 1870. Thomas Beasley died on October16, 1877.
Viola Elters Naylor
Between 1877 and 1941 the home had 6 owners, passing finally to Viola Elters Naylor, wife of Russell Naylor, Jr. The Naylor family occupied the house for much of the 20th century, and donated the property to Cape May County in 1994 upon Mrs. Naylor’s death.
Rehabilitation
When Cape May County acquired the building in 1994, the home was in desperate need of rehabilitation. The roof leaked, causing the ceilings to collapse. The paint and wallpaper were peeling. The elaborate woodwork on both the exterior and interior was rotting away. The original sashes of the arched windows were damaged and had broken panes of glass. The Cape May County Facilities Department, along with consultants, worked hard to revitalize a piece of Cape May County History.
