Abbott's Modern Cabins
Harding Lakes, NJ

Abbott's Modern Cabins were built before 1950 and have been vacant for years. The gas pump beside the main office gives a better indication of how old this place is (my guess, 1930s?). There are eight cute cabins laid out in a semi-circle with a larger building (storage and maintenance supplies I believe) set between them. The dilapidated main office is set out front near the road. The entire property is 80 acres. The Cabins are listed on the National Register of Historic Places - but that's no guarantee that they will survive.

Sky Top Motel
Dover, NJ

The Sky Top Motel has been around forever. The pizza joint, with the same curved front as the motel's office, used to be Skytop's restaurant and sits in the motel's vast parking lot.

Ascot Motel
Atlantic City, NJ

The Ascot Motel is right next door to the huge, extravagant Tropicana Hotel. It is one of the last holdouts.

Royal Motel
Secaucus, NJ

The Royal Motel appears to be the sole '60s survivor on this stretch of big box stores and malls - but for how long. In 2003, the sign was severely altered as shown in the photo on the right.

Northview Motel
Burlington, NJ

The Northview Motel is a nice oldie on the outskirts of Burlington.

Hilltop Motel
Belmar, NJ

The Hilltop Motel features fun, 1950s-looking rooftop fins.

Wildwood, NJ
