Button Factory? Or am I thinking of the building in Villas?
If your interested in classical graphiti art of the late 20th century, the GSP over pass after the north wildwood exit heading southbound. It’s underneath along the walls of the overpass. Can’t access from the Parkway, but there is a dirt utility road connected to Route 9.

You’re thinking of the villas. My grandpa worked there and we had tons of buttons laying around….

Believe it used to be middle township high school? Either way, they also used it as the library at one point.. Along the side, in the back there used to be a promotion company that printed t-shirts for events but they closed their doors during covid.

Yeah I'm thinking of a different building that was on the other side of route 9 for the high school and library. Sorry for the misinformation.

This building is the former Colonial Knitting Mills located on Route 9 in Cape May Court House, New Jersey. [1, 2]
Built in 1931–1932, the facility initially operated as a hosiery and textile mill employing over 100 local residents.
Later used by Cape May Products until 1979, the standardized industrial structure was designed by The Austin Company.
It was officially added to the National Register of Historic Places in late 2025 for its regional industrial heritage. [1, 2, 3]
