History

Dr Pitney was a prominent man who came to Absecon in 1819 convinced that the climate was ideal for a health resort and a bathing village. Jonathan was known for being benevolent and kind, hospitable and social which makes it all the more fitting that today we are welcoming you into his home and offering the same old fashion hospitality.
