The Lauren K. Woods Theatre is a historic farmhouse on the campus of Monmouth University in Long Branch, New Jersey.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 1, 1979 as the House at 364 Cedar Avenue.

History

The house was built on what was once a large farm covering over 100 acres, named the West Farm after John West. On April 4, 1862, Frederick Behr purchased a small plot of this farm and may have built the house around that time.[3] Behr was a German immigrant and raised flowers.[4] After his death in 1902, the property was divided among his daughters. It later became the carriage house and stables for the Murry Guggenheim House.[3]
