Avalon Life Saving Station

The Avalon Life Saving Station, also known as the Avalon Coast Guard Station, is located at 76 West 15th Street in the borough of Avalon in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The historic coastal maritime station was built in 1894 by Hiram Godfrey, a local contractor. The Shingle Style building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 2, 1979, for its significance in architecture, commerce, and transportation. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1992.
