Area history is rich. By the 1940s communities were evolving along the North Strand. Simple frame houses, some built on stilts, an inspiration for this raised-beach-style landmark home, rose along the oceanfront. A large tract was developed in 1948 by Charles T. Tilghman, Jr. Tilghman Beach benefited from protective covenants and sound planning, becoming an upscale residential enclave known as Tilghman Estates, where this signature home is situated in a private cul-de-sac which backs up to secluded woods. Nearby to the south, Ocean Drive Beach and Crescent Beach were also developed. A pavilion and amusement park drew crowds to play and to dance the state dance, The Shag. Windy Hill Beach was developed after World War II. The beach boomed in the 1960s, and new golf courses also expanded “beach season” to year round. Neighboring Cherry Grove has always been a home away from home for visitors. The small beach community received its name from Cherry Grove Plantation, which occupied the area in the early 1700s and is home to architectural treasures, the Cherry Grove Pier and Swing Bridge. In 1968 Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive Beach, Crescent Beach, and Windy Hill consolidated into North Myrtle Beach. North Myrtle Beach is now a Top 5 beach town in the U.S. and the number-one family beach.
