The Cape Island Presbyterian Church was constructed in 1853 and exemplifies local carpenter-designed building practices. Its architecture exhibits some Greek Revival influenced features, but also contains a unique belvedere that, through its decorative brackets, evokes imagery of eastern or oriental architecture. An Episcopal congregation and the city’s community and visitor’s center have also used the building. Home to the Cape May Playhouse since 1994, the building now hosts theater productions and other community and arts groups use the building for classes and other activities.

The Trust grant helped fund the preparation of engineering and architectural assessments and construction documents for the exterior restoration of the building.
