Historical Images: Lake Family Home at 17th and Wesley

Our weekly feature includes photographs from the Ocean City Historical Museum collection and from the modern era.

 

This week's "Then and Now" features a home standing on the northwest corner of 17th Street and Wesley Avenue. 

The home at 1644 Wesley was built for Marion Lake of the Lake family by a local contractor, Allen Scull. It is shown in the first image shortly after it was completed circa 1920.
