Throwback from the Jersey Shore

I have been so pleased by the response to this column, and one thing I have learned in recent weeks, we have a lot of people in the area who enjoy older photos.

This week's Throwback column is for you.

In this page from an older atlas, the Maxson residence in Point Pleasant is featured.

An interesting facet of this photograph is that Point Pleasant is labeled as a Monmouth County town, which provides some insight into the time of the card, which our reader has labeled from the late 1800s.

If you have any information about this card or the residence located on it, we'd love to hear from you. Please comment in the thread below, or email me directly at Colleen.platt@patch.com.

Also, feel free to send your older photos and post cards along, I'd love to feature them in the weeks ahead.
