Wildwood Doo Wop.com

The Knoll's Resort Motel is located in the heart of downtown Wildwood. This original motel has its original sign, railings, and complete with green spotlights that make it stand out at night. In its early years, Knoll's was one of the few motels to be open year-round in the Wildwoods.

• The Knoll's Resort Motel was one of the earliest Doo Wop motels recognized by the Federal government. This survey pre-dates that National Registry survey. A Historic American Buildings Survey / Historic American Engineering Record (HABS) was done to document this classic building in Wildwood.

Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS)

The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) collections are among the largest and most heavily used in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. Since 2000, documentation from the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) has been added to the holdings.

Administered since 1933 through cooperative agreements with the National Park Service, the Library of Congress, and the private sector, ongoing programs of the National Park Service have recorded America's built environment in multiformat surveys comprising more than 556,900 measured drawings, large-format photographs, and written histories for more than 38,600 historic structures and sites dating from Pre-Columbian times to the twentieth century. This online presentation of the HABS/HAER collections includes digitized images of measured drawings, black-and-white photographs, color transparencies, photo captions, data pages including written histories, and supplemental materials. Since the National Park Service's HABS, HAER, and HALS programs create new documentation each year, digital images will continue to be added to the online collections. The first phase of digitization of the Historic American Engineering Record collection was made possible by the generous support of the Shell Oil Company Foundation.
