Station Site Notes:

1878 repaired; 1882 extensively repaired and strengthened; 1895 new station built to replace old one, which was built many years ago and had become inadequate (USLSS Annual Reports). Turned over to GSA in 1964 (USCG Historian's Website). The Coast Guard occupied the station until the late 1950's. New Jersey Marine Police took over the station in the 1960's and remained there until 1993 when they ceased operations and the station was abandoned. The station was eventually restored as the Monmouth Beach Cultural Center and was dedicated on May 27, 2000 (Monmouth Beach Cultural Center Website).
