Port Norris and Bivalve, at the bottom of Commercial Township, were once the center of the Delaware Bay oyster industry, and the money that came out of the bay in the late 1800s and early 1900s built the houses that still stand here. They are substantial for their setting: upright frame homes with decent proportions and real detailing, put up when the fleet was working and the shucking houses were full. The industry collapsed in the 1950s and the township has never had the tax base to match its building stock since. Elsewhere in the township, Laurel Lake was built out with small mid-century cottages around the water, most of them since converted to year-round living. Both ends of the township sit on low, salt-marsh ground that floods on ordinary tides.
On the older Port Norris houses we build to the original opening and keep the upright proportion the facade depends on, with modern insulated glazing behind it. Marsh-side units get corrosion-resistant hardware, because ordinary finishes do not last here. Lake cottages get one consistent replacement across the whole house, and we can enlarge an undersized opening where the framing allows.
