The John B. McCreary House, also known as the Christian Science Society and most recently The Abbey, is a historic Victorian building at 34 Gurney Street in Cape May, New Jersey. Designed by Philadelphia architect Stephen Decatur Button, it was built between 1869 and 1870 for $20,000 for State Senator John B. McCreary, a Pennsylvania coal baron. It is a contributing property in the Cape May Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. From 1979 to 2012 the building operated as The Abbey Bed and Breakfast Inn, with its owners restoring the structure and adding bathrooms for each suite, and it is now operated as a whole house rental.
