Personalize A Washington Street Mall Brick
Strolling the Washington Street Mall has long been a great and memorable experience for tens of thousands of Cape May visitors and locals alike. You can engrave those memories into one of the Mall's bricks! Personalize a brick with custom text, such as references to family, friends, Cape May vacations, memorials, shout-outs, and more. You can even add an icon or a custom logo. All proceeds will be used to enhance and maintain the uniqueness of the Mall.
CURRENT TIMELINE:
Bricks paid for from November 20, 2024 through June 30, 2025 will likely be installed sometime between September 1, 2025 and February 1, 2026. For bricks paid for after June 30, 2025, we will likely follow the following timeline: bricks paid for from July 1 through December 31 will be installed between the following March 1 and July 1, and bricks paid for from January 1 through June 30 will be installed between the following September 1 and February 1.
Please note that with the process and procedures of our engraving vendor, the actual engraving can take time. Because of this, we are unable to pinpoint an exact time period for when your engraved brick will be on the Mall. All details are subject to change and installations are subject to delays.
You will receive an email noting the location of your brick once your engraved brick is on the Mall. We may also reach out to you via email if there is an issue with your order. Please watch for emails from washingtonstreetmallbricks@gmail.com, including by monitoring your spam/junk folder.
Your patience is appreciated while waiting for your brick to be engraved.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Please note that the bricks are likely to experience efflorescence, which is a discoloration that can appear to be like a powder or scum on the bricks. Gradually, over the course of anywhere from months to years, the discoloration is converted to a soluble compound and washed away in the rain. Font and icons may differ a bit from what is shown in pictures and in listed icon options. There is no guarantee on the wear or readability of the bricks and the Washington Street Mall Management Company, Inc./the City of Cape May reserves the right to remove a personalized brick that becomes non-legible or damaged. The bricks are the property of the Washington Street Mall Management Company, Inc./the City of Cape May and cannot be removed by the person who placed the order. Those ordering a personalized brick are responsible for making sure the personalization is correct when they submit their order. Personalized text is case sensitive, meaning that the text that you request is what is engraved, whether it is uppercase or lowercase. Personalized text will be screened for inappropriate content. Please do not include emojis as part of a line of text as our engraver cannot accommodate emojis.
UPDATES FOR ORDERS THAT HAVE BEEN PAID:
Bricks paid for prior to January 14, 2024 have been installed off the 400 block of Washington Street on Hill Walk between Casale's Shoes and the City Centre Mall. Bricks paid for from January 14, 2024 through November 19, 2024 are being processed with the engraver and are expected to be installed in the first quarter of 2025. Prior to November 20, 2024, our timeline was that bricks would be engraved and then installed once we reached 200 orders. As of November 20, 2024, we have updated our timeline (see above under Current Timeline) in an effort to hopefully give purchasers a better idea as to when their brick would be installed.
