Fire strikes in December 1992 destroying
nearly everything but the Castle.
January 16, 2002 fire erupts again
this time sparing everything but the Castle. Two teens are charged with
arson.
Even in ashes the Castle still manages to produce haunting images.
In the days that followed the fire I managed to pull this
face from the rubble.
My thanks go out to the following
people for supplying many of the photographs used in this article. Dave
Williams, Tom Jorgensen, The Wildwood Crest Vol. Fire Company and always,
the Wildwood Historical Society and George F. Boyer Museum.
