He was a political legend in South Jersey – and a major force behind the Atlantic City Expressway, the Garden State Parkway and Stockton University.

Sen. Frank S. “Hap” Farley was known as the boss of the Atlantic City Republican political machine that is chronicled in the book Boardwalk Empire. He inherited control of the machine from the notorious Enoch “Nucky” Johnson, whose exploits were highlighted in the HBO series of the same name.

Born in 1901, he served for 34 years in the New Jersey legislature. He died in 1977, but his name lives on through the Frank S. Farley Service Plaza – a popular stop on the Atlantic City Expressway.

Now, his longtime home at 6104 Ventnor Ave. in Ventnor is for sale for $685,000. Check out the photos in the gallery above. The house has four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and sits on a 6,900-square-foot lot that’s two blocks from the beach. Under the current owners, extensive renovations have been done to the home.
