Congress Hall will be having a blast

Congress Hall Yello

We had word today that Congress Hall is preparing to sandblast the paint from the exterior surfaces to reveal the original bricks of the 1879 building. We tried, with the help of Photoshop, to see what that may look like when the building’s surface is completed. To be fair, the color is approximate and does not show the subtleties of the shading of the bricks. And the brick color itself is a best guess based on photo samples of common brick around Cape May.

Congress Hall as brick colored

What do you think?

(ETA: You’ve probably worked this out, but April Fools!)

    We love Congress Hall, no matter what the outside looks like. But, we are very glad we got married there last summer before the yellow disappeared.

    I do love that it would be back to the original but I have to admit, I like the yellow more.

    Keep the Yellow…and who may i ask who is paying for this if you sandblast and repaint?

    Not liking this idea too much. Is this being done to improve maintenance/preservation? Oh and, get off my lawn XD

    The yellow is more cheerful and stands out in a good way! The old brick color is cold and dreary…in my opinion.
