Step into one of America’s most celebrated historic landscapes.

Cape May, New Jersey—listed on the National Register of Historic Places—has the second-largest concentration of Victorian architecture in the United States. From Queen Anne and Second Empire to Stick Style homes, the city’s iconic “Painted Ladies” create a living showcase of traditional design and craftsmanship.

Join your peers, fellow architects, designers, preservationists, craftspeople, and building professionals for the Traditional Building Conference, a two-day immersive experience combining education, hands-on insight, and meaningful networking—set against the stunning backdrop of Cape May.

Expert-led seminars will cover traditional building craft, design, and materials; insights into historic preservation, coastal resiliency, and sustainability; as well as engaging discussions on the role of tradition in shaping our urban future.
