The Emlen Physick Estate is a landmark Victorian home that's been tranformed to a Victorian House Museum, located in Cape May, New Jersey.

Designed by renowned American architect Frank Furness and built in 1879, the estate and its original outbuildings show how life was lived in the Victorian era. The carriage house on the grounds is now a museum shop, exhibit gallery and home to the Carriage House Cafe and Tearoom.
