OHC NOTES
This historic home sits in the middle of my beautiful hometown of Cape May Court House, New Jersey. I remember when it sat empty and forlorn before the home was meticulously restored in 2005. After the restoration the property operated as a bed and breakfast and restaurant known as The Doctor’s Inn, in honor of Civil War surgeon Dr. John Wiley who built the home in 1854. I have been inside the inn many times for dinner, and to visit a friend of mine, the caretaker of the inn. It is indeed a magical place.
