Strathmere postcard available

I had a special postcard made to tie in with the Strathmere Centennial Celebration and the Strathmere Library's “Strathmere is our old hometown at the shore” history notebook project and display. The image is the same one that is available on the Strathmere Improvement Association's Centennial t-shirt, Winthrop road circa 1912.

The postcard is available at either the Strathmere Library or Riordan's office. Limited quantity, while supplies last.

The back of the shirt features a postcard circa 1912 of Winthrop Road in Strathmere.
The small building in the front-left was the train station. The train came over the bay where the bridge is now and stopped at that station.

The two big buildings were the West Jersey Cottages which were owned and run by the Wittkamp Family,  Gus Wittkamp was also the station manager for the train. The other 3 buildings were private homes.

The main building for the West Jersey Cottage (with the flag) was moved up the road around 1945 and it is now La Fontana. The 4 other homes still stand on Winthrop today.
