L. Ron Hubbard Residence at Bay Head

The L. Ron Hubbard Residence is a two-and-a-half-story wood-frame house combining American Foursquare and Shingle architectural styles. The structure features the characteristic forms and details typical of early 20th-century residential design.

The house was built in the early 20th century and gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. This designation acknowledged its architectural value as an example of residential design from that era.

During his stay from September 1949 to June 1950, L. Ron Hubbard wrote the foundational text that would influence the development of new religious movements.

The property is part of the Bay Head Historic District located in a coastal residential area. Visitors can view the exterior architecture from the street and explore the neighborhood with other historic homes nearby.

This coastal New Jersey residence represents the location where L. Ron Hubbard completed his manuscript for Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.
