A Wildwood Victorian home that was home to a popular bar was moved to a new location.
The Shamrock Beef & Ale is moved approximately 200 feet from its original location in Wildwood, Thursday, Jan. 20, 2022. The Victorian home, where the bar was located, will be a summer home for the owner.Chances are if you met anyone who spent any significant amount of time in Wildwood they will have a Shamrock story.
Wednesday morning those memories were picked up and moved, as the home began the journey to its new location, approximately 200 feet away on East Lincoln Avenue. During the past five years Gerace lived upstairs after converting the original 18 boarding rooms, which were like sleeping in closets, into a nine-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom house with three living rooms with the original double staircases., the home was built circa 1900 as the Berwind Hotel and was an example of Queen Anne resort architecture similar to styles in Cape May.
The Shamrock Beef & Ale is moved approximately 200 feet from its original location in Wildwood, Thursday, Jan. 20, 2022. The Victorian home, where the bar was located, will be a summer home for the owner.In 1924 the hotel was sold, and a Senekoff & Son grocery opened on the ground floor while the upper floors were still used as housing.
Henry described the Shamrock as having a laid back, old-schooled atmosphere where people went to have their first drink, make new friends and get engaged. While those memories and stories from the Shamrock may not be historically important, they are sentimentally important to people and will live on as will the Victorian home.
“If I had my choice I’d rather see the original Shamrock still in its original place and open for business.”
