"Ocean City Mansion was built in 1898 by the children of the Lake Brothers. This location was picked because it is one of the highest neighboring flood levels. First owners of the house, Albert Gilbert and Sally Lake opened a funeral parlor on Asbury Ave. Prior to the founding of the Ocean City Mansion in 2003, there were only four owners of the house. The house was vacant and had been neglected for 20 years. The real estate agents would send prospective buyers through the padlocked kitchen window as the rest of the house had been boarded up. Thirty plus laden mattresses and heavy metal lockers were strewn through the tiny rooms. It soon became a long remodel named a Labor of Love."
