Garfield Tea House, Presidential memorial tea house in Long Branch, United States.
The wooden structure stands on the grounds of St. James Chapel, featuring railroad ties as building materials and maintaining its original architectural elements.
The tea house was constructed in 1881 using railroad ties from tracks that transported President James Garfield during his final days in Long Branch.
The structure represents a period when the New Jersey shore attracted United States presidents who frequented St. James Protestant Episcopal Chapel for services.
Located at 1260 Ocean Avenue, the tea house stands near the Atlantic Ocean and forms part of the Long Branch Historical Museum complex.
One of the original railway rails serves as the ridgepole supporting the roof of this memorial building to President Garfield.
