The Owen Coachman House, also known as the Batts Lane Whaler's Cottage, is located at 1019 Batts Lane in Lower Township of Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The original one-room house was built between 1695 and 1730 in Town Bank along the Delaware Bay. It was moved to its present location off Shunpike Road on Cape Island in 1846. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 9, 2005, for its significance in architecture and ethnic heritage.[1][3]
Restoration work performed on the property in the early 2000s won an award from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for its quality and sensitivity to the historic nature of the house.[4]
