Historic Jersey Shore motel in North Wildwood demolished to make way for housing
The Chateau Bleu motel, about a block from the beach between 9th and 10th streets in North Wildwood, is no more. The Surf Avenue motel is the most recent to disappear from the shore town, which continues to see the rise of large rental properties in place of iconic buildings, such as the Chateau Bleu. The listing for the property reads 'currently this property has operated as a 19 unit motel but is ready for demolition and to be converted to three single homes in the center of North Wildwood.' The motel, which opened in 1962 and is on the list of National Register of Historic Places, was knocked down despite efforts by the Doo Wop Preservation League, which wanted to keep the building standing because of its historic significance. "One of the finest examples of mid-century resort architecture on the island and really the entire Northeast," John Donio, president of the Doo Wop Preservation League, told CBS. "This is a home to a lot of people year after year. It's generational, so families come down with their kids, their grandchildren, and it's also affordable." It was. And that has many people on social media upset with the decision to level the motel. 'The North Wildwood zoning commission has absolutely zero respect for any building on a national historic registry,' read a comment on the Doo Wop Preservation League's Facebook page. 'It all comes down to who you know at City Hall on the zoning board and how deep are your pockets.' 'All the good motels demolished,' read another. 'A shame. It used to look like Vegas motels all in neon lights. We stayed at the Carousel Motel. Oh those Wildwood days. Good memories!'
