The home on the left was once owned by a sea captain named Captain Knuckle (sp?) He died after WWII.
The home on the right was owned by the Carmona family for many years. They were year-round residents, and raised their children here. Luis Carmona was a coast guards man assigned to Strathmere from 1939 until his retirement in 1948. He was commander of the US Coast Station & in later years he worked as manager of the Corsons Inlet Water Company, and as a bridge tender at Corson's Inlet. He also captained for Dr. Rosenbach's two boats on weekends. Katharine J. Carmona taught elementary school in Marmora, Sea Isle City Woodbine and Port Republic until retiring in the mid 1970's. The Carmonas were very active in the church in Strathmere and served as caretakers for many years.

The next 6 homes shown below can be spotted in this old aerial photo of the point.
The photo is from the late 50's or early 60's (before the storm of '62)

The Spanish style house and the green house have both been torn down and rebuilt.

This home below use to be beach front, and you can see it along the beach in the old photo above. The storm in 1962 left it in the condition seen in the old photo. It was then moved safely to it's current location

On the corner at the blinker light -This restaurant was built from the remnants of the West Jersey Cottage's main hotel, which was dismantled and moved after it suffered damage from the 1944 hurricane. On the right is how the building looked in 1902, when it was still the West Jersey Cottage on the bay at Winthrop.
