Can you guess which window is in Cape May, New Jersey and which one is in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania?

the shutters are Cape May

I can make a case for either way, I just remember lots of shutters in Cape May

The top is Cape May. Fancy details.
Bottom is Washington Crossing, PA. Simpler lines and not as clean; Cape May is a wealthier area.

I like the clean lines of the top window! My guess is that the shutters are Cape May to protect the windows from storms.

I would put the shutters in Cape May as well. Both shots have a lot of character. If you want to wander down my road I’m home.

I am guessing that the photo with the window shutters are Cape May.

I never would have been able to guess...no experience on the East Coast! I do like the shades of blue in both photos.

I guessed correctly. Cape May's homes are more victorian and the second one looks more early america--as would be fitting for Washington's Crossing. Both pictures are nice.

Very good, Baila - many of Cape May's homes were destroyed in a fire in the 1870's, so many of the pretty homes one now sees there are from that post-fire period.
